American college football star Jesse Williams has recently returned home for some rest ahead of the coming NFL season. Jesse is expected to be an early pick in the upcoming NRL Draft and stands to make around $6 million from his first pro contract. Jess has both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander heritage and grew up in Brisbane. He’s earned himself the nickname ‘Tha Monsta’ for his hulking 193cm, 145kg frame, but away from the field he is a humble and family-oriented young man who proudly wears his Australian and Indigenous heritage on his sleeve.
