Professional Career

Draft

The Seahawks selected Williams with the 45th overall pick in the 2020 NFLHC Draft. Concerns about a past drug suspension caused many teams to shy away from taking him early.

Seattle Seahawks

As a rookie, Williams served as Booker T. Washington's primary backup. The following year was more of a true time-share with Williams getting just over 50% of the carries, and by 2022 he was entrenched as the Seahawks' full-time starter after Washington was traded to the Baltimore Ravens.
