Career
Before College, Williams was a Running Back Defensive Back that played for the Horned Toads of Coalinga High School. At 5"10", 185-pounds defensive back from Fresno State University, Williams played in 6 NFL seasons from 1990 to 1994 and 1996 for the Bills, Arizona Cardinals, and San Francisco 49ers. Williams was most notable for being the first player on the Buffalo Bills squad to don the number 31, which had been "retired" to represent the spirit of the franchise.
Since Williams donned the number, the Bills have allowed anyone to wear the 31 jersey.
lieutenant was later worn by Dwayne Wright, who coincidentally like Williams, went to Fresno State. Jairus Byrd currently wears the number.
Ironically, Byrd had to change to 31 because his college number, 32, was unofficially retired because of O. J. Simpson.
