Williams later signed on with the Edmonton Eskimos for the 2017 season and spent two seasons in the CFL before he was granted his release to pursue NFL opportunities.
During his two years in the CFL, Williams caught 134 passes for 2,294 yarsd receiving and 15 touchdowns over the course of 31 games.
