ENGLEWOOD — Speaking before microphones for the first time since the fatal shooting of Darrent Williams, Broncos receiver Javon Walker said he is ready for football but not to talk about his teammate's death.

"I'm just talking football right now, guys," he said at Broncos training camp.

Wearing a Mohawk haircut similar to the one that Williams often wore, Walker pronounced himself healthy, happy to be heading toward a new season and ready for the football challenges ahead.

Walker was in a limousine with Williams and several others in the early morning hours of Jan. 1 when Williams was killed in a drive-by shooting as the group left a downtown New Year's Eve party.

Several teammates and team officials, including Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, have said Walker, who has been sitting across from Williams, was holding Williams in his arms when emergency personnel arrived.

Many around the team say they've watched Walker closely in the offseason to see how he, and others in the organization who had been close to Williams, handled themselves in the weeks and months that have followed.

Walker was asked several times today about how he had dealt with all that happened on that January night but declined to answer.

Walker said physically he felt better than ever because "I'm not rehabbing anything."

Then asked if he had to rehab emotionally since the shooting, Walker replied simply; "No, no, not when it comes to football."
