This weekend is the 2017 NFL Draft. Today seems like as good of a day as any to re-read this story done back in July of 2015 by Sports Illustrated writer Pete Thamel on the likely number one overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, Myles Garrett. Yes, we're all aware that Garrett doesn't play basketball at Boston College. But his older brother did.

The 6-foot-5 pass rushing phenom is the younger brother of former 6-foot-10 Boston College basketball and ex-NBA player, Sean Williams. He played in 69 games for the Eagles before being dismissed for a violation of team rules in January of 2007.

Williams led BC in blocked shots in all three seasons in Chestnut Hill and also set a school single-season record with 75 blocked shots in 2006-07 (in only 15 games); blocked 63 shots in 2004-05 and 55 shots in 2005-06.
