Williams was a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2019 and has played in 36 games over the last three seasons. A shoulder injury ended his 2022 campaign in training camp, and he'll now look to rebound with the Vikings this season. Since entering the league, Williams has played 552 defensive snaps, starting just one game over that span.

A 2019 second-round draft pick and a depth piece of the New England secondary, Williams will miss the entire 2022 season after suffering a shoulder injury in the preseason. The Patriots' top-end coverage unit gets a little thinner with the loss of Williams. 

Taken 45th overall out of Vanderbilt in 2019, Williams has played just 251 defensive snaps across two seasons and 24 appearances. Even in a thin cornerback room, Williams' spot doesn't appear to be guaranteed. He's been getting roasted by N'Keal Harry and others in camp.

New England's second-round pick last year, Williams totaled 80 defensive snaps (including 62 out wide) behind Stephon Gilmore, Jason McCourty, Jonathan Jones, and J.C. Jackson. With all returning in 2020, the Patriots are obviously looking for Williams to fill some safety-type responsibilities alongside Devin McCourty, Patrick Chung, 2020 second-round pick Kyle Dugger and free-agent acquisition Adrian Phillips. Williams previously played safety in New England's 2019 preseason finale and has the size (6'3/212) to cover tight ends in the slot. Expect the 22-year-old to play both roles (among others) this year.
