Giovanni Williams watched his older brothers chase their NFL dreams and become playmaking teammates with the New York Jets .
Now, the young linebacker is getting a chance to join them - and perhaps make some history.
Williams, the younger brother of defensive tackle Quinnen and linebacker Quincy, is in rookie minicamp with the Jets as a tryout after going undrafted out of Miles College, a Division II historically Black college in Fairfield, Alabama.
"It feels good," Giovanni Williams said Saturday after practice. "It feels, I'd say, honestly, bittersweet just because living behind them, making my own name, I had to still live behind them. But it's sweet because me and my brother Quincy play the same position. So it's like, I can call on him for help and we've got the same competition level. So it's going to be like competition, just like always.
"Just like we're back home, just a big competition."
