Mike Williams endures exhaustive stretch in heat - Grand Rapids Press
Detroit Lions coaches were not trying to kill wide receiver Mike Williams, it just looked that way.

With the temperature in the mid 90s and the humidity high, the Lions practiced for 90 minutes on their outdoor fields Tuesday afternoon...it was clear that the players had hit the wall. Their body language revealed a team that was hot, exhausted, sore, tired and miserable.

At one point during practice, Williams took off his helmet, shoulder pads and jersey in an effort to cool down...Team trainers, though, determined he was no worse off than anybody else and, after Williams suited back up, he went back to work...

...Williams ran every play seemingly without complaint and was clearly exhausted by the end of it...
