He's heard from guys like Ronnie Lot, Richard Sherman, and Cam Chancellor, all of whom know what it's like to win it all and then try to do it again. The main message he's getting is that the road ahead is tough, and you have to be able to turn the page quickly from one game to the next. This advice comes at a crucial time for Seattle. They're heading into their title defense, which kicks off September 9th against the New England Patriots.

Lot, a four-time Super Bowl winner, and Sherman and Chancellor, who are part of the Seahawks Super Bowl win and subsequent loss, have all shared their experiences. They understand the pressure of being the hunted after being the hunters. It's about navigating that transition, and Williams is clearly taking it to heart.
