This has to be one of the most stupidest things a player has done.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82..._headline_stack

Not exactly a banner offseason for Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams.

Facing a six-game suspension for failing a performance-enhancing drug test, Williams must now answer to Jack Del Rio & Co. for tweeting out a photo of the team's defensive playbook on his iPad, according to TheBigLead.com.

After telling his 10,000 Twitter followers he's learning a "new position," Williams gave the general public a chance to learn along with him.

Thanks to this savvy veteran, any lingering mystery attached to Denver's "Pro Near I" front has been shattered completely. That particular play is clearly visible on the typically top-secret blueprint Williams made available to thousands. Same goes for "Z Motion to Far I" and "U3 to Trips Slot." The cat -- totally out of the bag.

(While we're at it: The pencil, the shiny red sharpener, the notecards -- really?)

Williams, the team's first-round pick in 2004, dropped a follow-up tweet with a message to readers: "Dear fans: My post about learning a new position and the fact that our playbooks are now iPad was all for you. I realize fans like to know what's going on with their teams and fav player."

The same goes for the Raiders.

What an idiot.

It's truly embarassing reading some of these NFL players twitter accounts. I don't think these guys realize just how big of an audience their tweets reach.

Maybe i'm totally under-selling this, and yes it is stupid, but...

These look like pre-snap adjustments. I bet that some of the heavier X and O guys on here know what the Browns do pre-snap just by watching film. He's not really giving away all that much here, IMO.

That pencil sure is sharp for "studying."

Pencil is ready in case he eventually needs it, I guess? What a maroon! Why?

If it were just before a game or during the season, it would be worse.
As it is, I don't think it's a good thing but, really, I don't think any other team is going to gain a whole lot .

Kind of like a PGA player knowing what club another golfer is going to use.

I bet Bellichick could put his whole playbook, for all phases of the game, on the internet and his team would still win 10 games.

If it's labeled with names, it would be worse .
