Williams, 27, was a fifth-round pick of the Bills back in 2016, but Buffalo waived him in his second year in the league. 

Williams had brief stints with the Broncos and Saints before signing on to the Colts’ practice squad in 2019. The Lions signed him to a contract last August but he was among their final roster cuts and later added to their practice squad. 

Williams bounced around between Detroit and Washington’s practice squad, but he ultimately settled with Washington in December. Williams had spent camp with the team but was among Washington’s final cuts. However, he caught on to Washington’s practice squad early in September, which is where he spent the first half of the season.

After Washington released him in November, Williams spent a month on the Giants practice squad before Washington signed him back onto their active roster in December

In 2021, Williams appeared in five games for Washington and rushed 17 times for 79 yards with one touchdown and caught four passes for 28 yards.
