Get to Know DJ Williams Family

Former Arkansas Razorback Tight End and NFL Football Patriot DJ Williams shares his personal story of domestic violence. D.J. Williams doesn't remember how old he was the first time he saw his father hit his mother. He remembers the guns. He remembers wondering if the beatings were ever going to stop. He remembers that unforgettable look in his father's eyes, the look of someone struggling with depression and hooked on crack cocaine. He remembers being a little boy thrust into a world of spousal abuse that turned his Carrollton, Texas, home into a hellish prison. But most of all, he remembers being scared. Scared for himself. Scared for his two older sisters. Scared that his mother might not survive the next beating.
