Williams and Green are represented by a Mississippi law firm<\/a> that continues to make it rain.<\/p>\n Updated: 1:35pm – Nov. 13<\/strong><\/p>\n Dante Hall, Ellis Hobbs, Kevin Glover, Walter Rasby, Eric Warfield, Adam Schreiber and 19 others just filed suit in Miami.<\/p>\n This brings the total player-plaintiff pool to more than 3,870 former players, represented in 178 separate concussion-lawsuits.
