Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jesse Williams has been diagnosed with cancer and will undergo surgery, the team announced on Monday.
Williams has papillary type 2 cancer and will undergo kidney surgery.
“Although disappointing, I am a fighter and will handle this," Williams said in a statement posted on Seahawks.com. "I am going to focus on my health and fighting this battle with a return to football as my ultimate goal. Thank you for your thoughts and support. Go Hawks!"
Seahawks general manager John Schneider said, “Jesse is an extraordinarily tough individual who has overcome a great deal in his life and we will support him in any way possible. He is in our thoughts and prayers.”
Williams, 24, was a fifth-round selection by the Seahawks out of Alabama in the 2013 NFL Draft. Williams was sidelined for his first two NFL seasons with knee injuries.
Damn his luck has been terrible since leaving Alabama.

His girlfriend just recently got pregnant. I hope everything works out for him.

Hope everything goes smoothly. My dad had to have one of his kidney's removed last year because of similar issues.
