Williams attended rookie
Green Bay Packers
Williams was signed by the Green Bay Packers on May 26, 2016.[11] On September 3, 2016, he was released by the Packers during final team cuts.[12]
Saskatchewan Roughriders
In May 2017, Williams signed as a rookie free agent with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL). Throughout the two-game preseason, Williams completed 10 passes out of 12 attempts, for 115 yards, and one interception. Williams made the Roughriders roster as the third quarterback on June 17, beating out Vince Young who, like Williams, had also played for the Green Bay Packers during a preseason.[13] Williams also beat out Bryan Bennett for the job.
In May 2018, Williams took reps against the
San Antonio Commanders
In the inaugural AAF quarterback draft, the San Antonio Commanders used their second-round pick on Williams, who had initially been allocated to the Atlanta Legends.[15] He was primarily used as a change-of-pace backup, earning a handful of plays but filling in well whenever starter Logan Woodside was benched or injured. Williams completed over 70% of his passing attempts, including a touchdown and a two-point conversion, and rushed for nearly six yards per carry. The league ceased operations in April 2019.[16]
New York Guardians
