"When people bring anime stuff, I know they understand me as a person; they don't just see me as a football player," Williams continued, brandishing a bag full of Naruto posters and figures, "Bring me some stuff, and I give you stuff."
Williams is an avid anime fan. The header of his Twitter profile features an image of Gaara from Naruto, and he recently tweeted about his ascent up the mountain of One Piece episodes.
