Williams was a fifth-round pick by the Green Bay Packers in 2011 after winning the Mackey Award as the nation's top tight end the previous season at Arkansas. He caught nine passes in 26 games over two years with the Packers before being released in August of 2013. He spent time with the Jacksonville Jaguars and New England Patriots later that year but was out of football this past season. Since February, he has been working on KARK-TV's morning show in Arkansas.
