Alabama teammate criticizes narrative around WR Ryan Williams

And the other, like this:

Ryan Williams' Alabama teammate defends him after Wisconsin win

A fellow wide receiver, senior Germie Bernard, clearly took exception to any criticism of his teammate after the loss to FSU. Following the win over Wisconsin, Bernard appeared on a podcast called "The Next Round," where he defended Williams.

"First of all, everybody [has] seen what Ryan can do," Bernard said (h/t 247Sports). "I don't understand why people sit here and doubt him after the one game that he has."

Has Williams been perfect this season? No. Absolutely not. In fact, if Nick Saban were still the head coach in Tuscaloosa, he might have gotten an earful after his handful of drops against Florida State and then the drop of a touchdown he had against Wisconsin.

Bernard explained that for a young and talented receiver like Williams, it's all part of the growth process. Drops happen to wide receivers. It's just something that has to consistently improve for a wideout to reach his true potential.

And as far as that potential is concerned, the elder Alabama wideout clearly has no questions about his teammate.

"It was so great for him to go out there and hush some people up. A lot of people were doubting him and stuff like that," Bernard said. "I know who Ryan Williams is. I know the plays he can make. Praise and blame are the same thing. That's how we look at stuff. It was good for him to continue to have a level mind and continue to work through that."
