2026 Projections
Signed a four-year, $6.34 million contract with the Chiefs in May of 2025.
Strong rookie campaign
Williams ended the 2025 season with 48 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and seven passes defensed over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Williams was a consistent special-teams contributor who earned a shot at being a full-time defensive starter toward the end of the campaign. The cornerback ended the season strong with 23 of his 48 total tackles coming in the last five games, along with his sole sack and four of his passes defensed. The third-round rookie has the potential to be a consistent starting cornerback for the Chiefs, as Jaylen Watson (groin) and Mike Edwards are on expiring deals.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Big step in Year 2?
Williams, a 2025 third-round pick, could blossom this season with more opportunity, Ben Solak of ESPN.com suggests.
ANALYSIS
Solak describes Williams as a smart press corner who displayed a knack for getting his hands on the ball during his college days at Cal, but as a rookie, he remained firmly behind Trent McDuffie and Jaylen Watson. However, with both players departing this offseason, Williams will have a chance to battle with Kristian Fulton for a starting job opposite 2026 first-round pick Mansoor Delane, and Solak sees Williams as having the inside track in the job battle.
