Ryan Shazier and Vince Williams Forged Brotherhood out of Competition, Tragedy
They have been able to participate in one sport together—bowling. In June, Shazier takes a cane in one hand and a bowling ball in the other and rolls a strike. But Williams has no mercy.
"I'm not going to let your handicap ass beat me," he tells him. "Save those sad stories."
Williams beats Shazier, and they laugh and they hope.
Williams once saw Shazier beat all of the Steelers wide receivers in a race. He saw him do reps with as many plates on the bar as Williams, even though Williams was 20 pounds heavier. He saw him refuse to use a walker to get to the bathroom when there was supposed to be no other way.
Williams will never doubt his friend, no matter what he's faced with.
Williams believes things happen for a reason. This happened for a reason too. He thinks—no, he knows—that Shazier will serve as an inspiration for others and as a testimony to his faith.
Shazier and Williams want to be there at each other's weddings. They think about watching each other's children grow up. They plan on looking at each other's wrinkled faces and telling stories about the old days.
But for now, they dream of something else: lining up side by side in black and gold again, making a running back regret the moment he hit the hole.
