New York Giants
Williams joined the New York Giants on April 26, 2010. He was later released by the team on September 4, 2010. He then joined their practice squad, which is a group of players who train with the team. However, he was released again just a few days later, on September 9, 2010.
Montreal Alouettes
On January 20, 2011, Williams signed with the Montreal Alouettes in Canada. He played well for them, making 98 tackles in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. A tackle is when a player stops an opponent who has the ball.

New Orleans VooDoo
On March 6, 2015, Williams joined the New Orleans VooDoo. This team played in the Arena Football League (AFL), which is a different style of football played indoors. He became a free agent after the 2015 season, meaning he was free to sign with any team.
