DeAngelo Williams Isn't A Fan Of Bill Belichick Or The New England Patriots
By Johnny Carey, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) -- It appears that DeAngelo Williams won't be joining the Patriots any time soon.
Not that it was a real possibility, considering the soon-to-be-33-year-old has another year left on his contract with the Steelers. But still, the running back took to Twitter on Monday night to let the Internet know of his distaste for New England.
Specifically, he voiced a not-so-nice opinion of Bill Belichick.
After a Patriots fan tweeted at Williams to let him know he'd be welcome in New England, this is what the ex-Steeler and ex-Panther had to say:
From what I'm told only tom Brady likes the head coach so no thank u I'm happy where I am https://t.co/WILRq6FbSu

Big, if true.
While Belichick doesn't publicly come off as buddy-buddy with his players very often, there hasn't been any indication over the years that his players hate him.
His little Twitter feud with Patriots fans didn't stop there.
And the patriots are certified cheaters so we are not even but it made me feel better ???? https://t.co/IjLpj6Jeag

This actually wasn't the first time Williams decided to let everyone on social media know his feelings for the Patriots. Last offseason, Williams posted a screen shot of the 2006 NFL Draft on his Instagram, highlighting the fact that he was drafted six spots behind Laurence Maroney. Apparently, he's still bitter about it.
10 years ago they drafted Laurence Maroney over me and I haven't liked them since! https://t.co/45eBfcX5ar

The Patriots will pay a visit to Williams and the Steelers next year. We now know the running back will be motivated.
