story by Inside Radio
The homeless man with the smooth pipes and more than 11 million views on YouTube tells ABC News he will accept the Cavs’ offer for a full-time job and a mortgage-free home. “Out of all the all the offers I’ve had, and I’ve had quite a few, I’ll be going with that,” Williams says. The offer, extended yesterday by the Cavs during an appearance on Clear Channel CHR WNCI, Columbus includes voiceover and broadcasting work for the Cavs and Quicken Loans.
Williams has received several offers including from NFL Films and Radio One. Radio One, with its' year-long community service campaign tied to its 30th anniversary, offered to get Williams back on his feet in terms of housing, transportation, and counseling.
Williams has been homeless for about a year, and jokes he's already been compared to Scottish crooner Susan Boyle. "God has blessed me with this second chance," Williams told Radio One's Cleveland station WXMG Magic 98.9 FM's personality Konata yesterday.
