This is amazing news for New England Patriots DC Terrell Williams.
New England Patriots DC Terrell Williams has been declared cancer-free after a battle with prostate cancer dating back to September, the team confirmed to NFL Media.
Williams will be at the Super Bowl, where the Patriots take on the Seattle Seahawks.
"All of the doctors, all of the nurses at Mass General, and everyone that's taken blood samples, all the people there, they're so important and good at what they do," Williams said. "I appreciate those guys. And I appreciate this organization and the people of New England. When I say that, I mean it. I'm just shocked at how kind the people are up here. And it's been unbelievable.
"Hopefully we can bring a smile to their faces on Sunday."
Williams, 51, was diagnosed with prostate cancer following New England's Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and stepped away from the club for treatment, though he remained involved with players and went to the facility to attend meetings during the season.
"He's doing good, thank you," Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said about Williams. "He's excited about traveling with us, I appreciate you asking. Doing well, so we're excited about having him.
The Patriots beat the Los Angeles Chargers, Houston Texans and Denver Broncos in the AFC playoffs to reach the Super Bowl. They are now one win away from reaching the promised land for the first time since the 2018 season.
New England was second in the NFL in points per game and fourth in points per game allowed during the regular season.
The Patriots allowed an average of just 8.6 points per game in the AFC playoffs. They had eight takeaways against the Chargers, Texans and Broncos.
It's great news that Williams is no longer dealing with cancer. Let's see if the Patriots can win the Super Bowl for him.
