Williams, 25, played in 11 games last season, including one start, for the Browns after opening the season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He had 11 total tackles and played 15% of Cleveland's snaps on defense.
Williams played much more on special teams than he did on defense last season. He played 42% of the total special teams snaps for the Browns.
Williams was a second round pick out of Louisiana State University in 2019 by the Browns.
Williams started 12 games as a rookie for Cleveland in 2019. In that season, Williams had 47 total tackles, two pass deflections and two tackles-for-loss. He missed all of the 2020 season after he suffered nerve damage in his right shoulder during a training camp practice.
