Williams was moved to active roster for Buffalo’s Super Wild Card Weekend match-up against the Indianapolis Colts, though he did not dress for the game.

Though he hasn’t earned a regular spot in the Bills’ lineup, he has grabbed the attention of Buffalo’s franchise quarterback Josh Allen.

Williams caught 88 passes during the 2018 CFL season for a league-leading 1,579 yards and 11 touchdowns. At six-foot-three, 225 pounds, Williams provides a big frame and adds a physical presence.
