Philadelphia Eagles Williams was selected by the
Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (61st overall) in the
2000 NFL draft. He was inactive throughout the entire
2000 season as he made the transition from tackle to guard. He made his NFL debut at the
Tampa Bay Buccaneers on January 6, 2001, starting at right guard. Williams played in every game for the Eagles in
2002 and
2003 and also played in two playoff games in 2002. He took over the starting right guard job after an elbow injury to
Jermane Mayberry in 2003. During his four years with Philadelphia, Williams helped the Eagles win three
NFC East Division titles in a row (2001–2003), reaching the
NFC Championship Game (2001–2003) during that three-year run.
Cincinnati Bengals On March 26, 2004, Williams signed with the
Cincinnati Bengals as an
unrestricted free agent. He was the only player both on offense to play every snap on his unit. In 2005, Williams was part of the offensive line which only allowed 21 sacks which beat the previous franchise record of 24 sacks set in the 1972–73 season. He was re-signed to a two-year contract on April 5, 2010. In Week 14 of the
2011 NFL season, Williams broke his ankle in a 20–19 loss against the
Houston Texans, causing him to miss the remainder of the season. During his time in Cincinnati, Williams helped the Bengals win two
AFC North Division titles (2005, 2009).
Baltimore Ravens On June 8, 2012, Williams signed a two-year contract with the
Baltimore Ravens. He won his first career Super Bowl on February 3, 2013, when the Ravens defeated the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 34–31 in
Super Bowl XLVII. He was a backup most of the season and started six games. On March 8, 2013, Williams was released by the Ravens. ==References==
