uh-oh - he's gonna be pissed they called him old!
Things that get better with age: A nice bottle of red wine, the "Mission: Impossible" franchise and Week 1 AFC Offensive Player of the Week DeAngelo Williams.
Make no mistake, Williams did have two excellent seasons early on in his career with the Panthers. But after he failed to eclipse the 900-yard rushing mark in his final five seasons in Carolina, he has found his groove again in the Steel City.
Williams filled in admirably last season for the injured Le'Veon Bell, collecting more than 1,200 yards from scrimmage and 11 scores. He picked up where he left off in 2015 with Pittsburgh in a 38-16 win over Washington this past Monday, rushing for a crisp 143 yards and finding pay dirt twice.
The 33-year-old veteran, who also owns the title of oldest tailback in the NFL, was the oldest player to rush for at least 100 yards and two touchdowns since legendary Steelers running back Jerome Bettis in 2005. Williams' notable performance in the season opener goes to show that age is just a number, just like the Steelers' one victory to start 2016.
