Early years

Williams was considered the top running back in the state of Arkansas in 2001, having played at Wynne High School in Wynne, Arkansas.[2] He missed most of his sophomore season with a broken bone in his foot. As a junior, he gained 1,044 yards rushing and scored 14 touchdowns, leading him to be named to the Arkansas All-State team in 2000.[3] As a senior, he rushed for a single-season record 2,204 yards and 34 touchdowns, averaging 10.4 yards per carry while leading his squad to the state 4A championship. He had 939 yards rushing in four playoff games, including 26 carries for 302 yards and six touchdowns against Greenwood; in the state championship game against Stuttgart, he rushed for 194 yards on 24 attempts, scoring two rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown and one return touchdown. He was named the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 2001 Offensive Player of the Year and was selected to the Associated Press Arkansas Super Team in 2001.

Williams was a letterman in track & field. He still holds the state 4A record in the 100-meter dash with an electronically-timed 10.81 seconds. He helped lead Wynne to a second-place finish in the 2001 state track championships.

Williams was rated as the 25th best running back prospect in the nation, the number two overall prospect in the state of Arkansas and was named to the All-America and All-Region Team by SuperPrep. He was recruited by Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Iowa before deciding on Memphis.

College career

Williams attended the University of Memphis, where he played for the Memphis Tigers football team.[4] He holds the Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record for 100-yard rushing games (34) and All-purpose yards (7,573). He also ranks sixth on the all-time NCAA rushing list with 6,026 yards.[5] Williams was named to the 2004 Pro Football Weekly All-America Team.

2002 season

Entering Memphis, Williams was a highly touted signee. He played in 10 games as a true freshman. In his first career game against Murray State, he racked up 129 rushing yards, on 12 rushes, and a touchdown, marking the second most rushing yards in school history by a true freshman.[6] Against Tulane, he gained 166 rushing yards, including an 86-yard touchdown.[7] For his performance in the Tulane game, he received the Conference USA Player of the Week. While playing Louisville, he suffered a knee sprain and was forced to sit out the next week's contest against Mississippi State. He had a career-high two rushing touchdowns against Army, as well as 10 carries and 110 rushing yards.[8] He led the team with 684 rushing yards, 103 carries and five rushing touchdowns.[9][10][11]

In the 2003 regular season opener against Tennessee Tech, Williams had 61 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. He had career highs of 135 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns playing against the Golden Eagles.[12] The following week against Mississippi, he recorded 131 rushing yards, 36 receiving yards, and two rushing touchdowns.[13] He gained over 100 yards the following week against Southern Mississippi, finishing the game with 158 rushing yards.[14] After a 108-yard game against Arkansas State and another 107-yard game against UAB the following week, he tied the school record with four consecutive +100 yard games in a row.[15][16] The game after, he broke the record, when he posted 119 rushing yards against Mississippi State.[17] He continued the streak against the Houston Cougars with 120 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns.[18] The next week he had a career-high, 195 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns, in the victory against Tulane.[19] Playing East Carolina, he made the record eight consecutive games with over +100 rushing yards. With the 137 yards rushing, he broke the school record for single season rushing yards. He continued to break records the next week, when he broke the school record for attempts in a single season.[20] William's had 154 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown on 27 attempts against Louisville.[21] The next week, in a win against Cincinnati, he posted 136 rushing yards but tore his MCL during the game, ending his record-breaking season.[22] He ended the season with over 1,400 rushing yards, the most in school history, and leading the nation in all-purpose yards.[9][23] He was named as the 2003 Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year.[24]

2004 season

After missing the last two regular season games and the New Orleans Bowl, Williams returned in the 2004 season opener against Mississippi. With 118 rushing yards, he made it 11 consecutive games with over 100 rushing yards, continuing the streak he began in 2004, and having a career-high 37 attempts.[25] While playing against Chattanooga, Williams gained 136 rushing yards, three rushing touchdowns, 87 receiving yards, and a touchdown reception. His four touchdowns marked a career-high for a single game.[26] His streak ended a few weeks later, at 13 when UAB held him to 92 rushing yards.[27] Williams' junior season ended when he broke his leg while playing Bowling Green. He finished his junior year leading the nation with 22 rushing touchdowns and second with 1,948 rushing yards.[28] For the second straight year, he was named as the Conference USA Offensive Player of the Year.[24]

2005 season

Williams started his senior season being held to 85 rushing yards against Ole Miss but followed that up with ten consecutive games with over 100 yards rushing.[29] While playing against Chattanooga, he rushed for 205 yards.[30] He rushed for over 200 yards when he finished with 223 yards against Tulsa.[31] The next week, he posted 236 rushing yards playing against UTEP.[32] After a few games, Williams accumulated 226 rushing yards and two touchdowns against East Carolina.[33] He finished the regular season with 127 rushing yards against Marshall.[34] In his final college game, the 2005 Motor City Bowl, Williams helped Memphis defeat the Akron Zips 38-31, by running for a Bowl record 238 yards and scoring three touchdowns.[35] His performance made him the top ground-gainer in college football in 2005.

In January, Williams attended the 2006 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, an annual event in which college seniors and professional prospects are evaluated by NFL personnel in preparation for the NFL Draft. His height was officially measured at 5'9, which led some scouts to question his potential as an undersized back in the NFL. However, scouting reports soon placed him among the most impressive performers during the practice week leading up to the Bowl, and Williams punctuated the week with a strong, if brief, showing in the game itself, rushing for 31 yards on 3 carries and catching 2 passes for 28 yards. For the NFL Combine, Williams trained at D1 Sports Training in Nashville, Tennessee.

On March 24, at the Pro Day on the University of Memphis campus, Williams ostensibly improved his draft stock even further with an exceptional workout. He ran his 40-yard dash in 4.40 seconds with the wind and 4.48 seconds against the wind. He also impressed in the short shuttle, the three-cone drill, and the long shuttle. In addition, he recorded a 34½-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-9 broad jump and caught the ball well in receiving drills.

Carolina Panthers

Though at one point he was considered a top ten pick, with some projecting him as high as #4 overall to the New York Jets, Williams saw his draft stock fall in weeks preceding the draft, as many teams filled their needs at the running back position via free agency. On April 29, 2006, he was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the first round with the 27th overall pick in the NFL Draft. He joined Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Laurence Maroney, and Joseph Addai, among others, in a promising draft class at running back.[38] Williams adopted the jersey #34, which he wore in high school, and which was the same as his hero at the time, Ricky Williams.[39]

2006 season

Williams played in the first five games of the 2006 season and looked promising as an alternative to DeShaun Foster in the Carolina backfield, compiling an impressive average of 5.3 yards per carry.[40] In Week 2, against the Minnesota Vikings, he had 13 carries for 74 rushing yards and his first professional touchdown, a three-yard rush in the second quarter, in the 16–13 loss.[41] He missed Weeks 6 through 8 with a sprained ankle. In Week 11 against the St. Louis Rams, Williams filled in for Foster, who had injured his elbow, and totaled 20 carries for 114 rushing yards in the 15–0 victory.[42] In a Monday Night Football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Williams started for an injured Foster and managed 74 rushing yards on 17 carries and an impressive 101 receiving yards on seven catches with a receiving touchdown in the 27–24 loss.[43] He had 121 carries for 501 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown to go along with 33 receptions for 313 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown as a rookie.[44]

2007 season
Williams in 2008

In the 2007 season, Williams continued to back up DeShaun Foster.[45] He had his first 100-yard game of the season in Week 6 against the Arizona Cardinals. In the fourth quarter, he clinched the 25–10 victory with a 75-yard run, the longest in team history, only to be tackled short of the goal line. On the next play, he ran the ball to the right corner of endzone for his first touchdown of the season.[46] The next five weeks, he had 97 total rushing yards due to limited playing time.[47] In the final week of the season, Williams rushed for 121 yards on 20 carries while scoring two touchdowns in the 31–23 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[48] He finished the season with 144 carries for 717 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns. He finished ninth in the NFL in yards per carry (5.0).[49][50]

2008 season

Williams established himself as the starting running back for the Panthers prior to the 2008 season. During the 2008 season, Williams shared carries with rookie Jonathan Stewart, though Williams received a majority of the work.[51] In Week 5, he had 20 carries for 123 rushing yards to go along with 25-yard receiving touchdown in the 34–0 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.[52] On November 30, Williams set a franchise record for rushing touchdowns in one game by scoring four times in a Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers.[53] In Week 14, Williams was selected FedEx Ground Player-of-the-Week after a dominating performance in which he rushed for 186 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football.[54] He earned NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his effort against the Buccaneers.[55] On December 21, in a game against the New York Giants for the number one playoff seed, Williams rushed for 108 yards and four rushing touchdowns in an overtime 34–28 loss.[56] He closed out the regular season with 25 carries for 178 rushing yards in a 33–31 victory over the New Orleans Saints.[57] Williams did not fumble the entire 2008 season.[58]

Despite having a great statistical season, he was unable to make the Pro Bowl over Clinton Portis, despite having more total yards, touchdowns, and yards per carry. This is mainly attributed to Portis outperforming Williams the first half of the season, as well as the large Redskins fanbase. However, Williams did make the All-Pro team. He finished the 2008 season with 273 carries for 1,515 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns, to go along with 22 catches for 121 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns.[59] Williams credited much of his 2008 success to a discussion with Vinny Testaverde and improved pre-game preparation.[60] After the season, Williams was voted Pro Football Weekly and the Professional Football Writers of America's Most Improved Player of the Year.[61]

Williams made his playoff debut against the Arizona Cardinals in the Divisional Round. He had 12 carries for 63 rushing yards in the 33–13 loss.[62]

2009 season

In week 7 of the 2009 NFL season, Williams broke a 77-yard run against the Cardinals, breaking his previous record of 75 yards, which was also set against Arizona. The Panthers got their revenge from the previous year's playoff loss as they beat the Cardinals 34-21.[63] In a game against Tampa Bay, Williams had 152 rushing yards as he scored the game-winning touchdown in Carolina's 28-21 win.[64] Despite missing all of 3 games and most of 2 more due to injury, Williams managed to rush for 1,117 yards and 7 touchdowns on 216 carries, as well as receiving for 252 yards on 29 catches, earning himself a spot in the Pro Bowl.[65][66] He and Jonathan Stewart became the first running back duo in NFL History to rush for 1,110 yards apiece (with Stewart rushing for 1,133 yards), as well as becoming the first Panther running back to rush for 1,000 in consecutive seasons.

During the 2010 Pro Bowl, Williams scored a touchdown on a 7-yard run, the first by a Panthers player in team history. He finished the game with 2 carries for 6 yards and a touchdown, as well as a 15-yard reception.[67]

2010 season

Williams injured his right foot during the Panthers' home win against the San Francisco 49ers on October 24, 2010.[68] He did not play again before being placed on injured reserve on November 17, 2010, with what was announced to be a mid-foot sprain.[69] Williams finished the year with 361 yards and one touchdown on 87 rushes, along with 61 yards and no touchdowns on 11 catches.[70] On July 27, 2011, Williams signed a 5-year $43 million contract extension to stay with the Panthers.

2011 season

In 2011, the Panthers drafted Cam Newton as their starting quarterback.[71] This resulted in a three way split for carries between Williams, Stewart, and Newton.[72] Williams helped the trio finish third in the league in total rushing yards with 2,408.[73] The Panthers finished first in average yards per carry and first in total touchdowns with 26.[74] Williams finished the season with 836 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.[75][76]

2012 season

In 2012, the Panthers signed former San Diego Chargers fullback Mike Tolbert. The signing meant that Williams's carries would yet again be split with Stewart, Newton, and newcomer Tolbert.[77] In Week 17, against the New Orleans Saints, he rushed for a career-high 210 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns.[78] Although he played every game of the season, he only started 10 of the games. He recorded 737 yards on 173 attempts. He scored five rushing touchdowns and two on the receiving end.[79]

2013 season

In 2013, Williams had his most rushing attempts (201) since his Pro Bowl season in 2009. However, he did not make much out of these carries, only rushing for 843 yards. He scored 3 rushing touchdowns, his fewest since his injury plagued season in 2010, and one receiving.[80]

2014 season

Williams rushed for 72 yards on 12 attempts in the season-opening 20–14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[81] He missed the second and third games of the season against the Detroit Lions and the Pittsburgh Steelers respectively, because of a hamstring injury that he suffered during a practice in between week one and two.[82] In a Week 4 loss versus the Baltimore Ravens, Williams suffered a high ankle sprain and was taken out of the game. His cast was removed on October 6, 2014.[83] Coach Ron Rivera has said that Williams would be able to return for week nine.[84][85] In a Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Williams fractured his right middle finger. He was listed as day to day.[86][87] He missed a Week 14 victory over the New Orleans Saints due to his hand injury.[88] He was listed as doubtful for the week fifteen game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[89] After missing the final two games of the season versus the Cleveland Browns and the Atlanta Falcons respectively, Williams returned for the Wild Card Round versus the Arizona Cardinals. He saw very limited action, only carrying the ball four times for 16 yards and no receptions in a 27-16 victory.[90] In the Divisional Round game versus the Seattle Seahawks, Williams carried the ball two times for 14 yards in a 31-17 loss.[91] He was released on March 10, 2015.[92]

Pittsburgh Steelers

2015 season

On March 13, 2015, Williams signed a two-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.[96] The contract was for two years and $4.0 million, with $1.13 million guaranteed, and a signing bonus of $1.13 million.

Williams made his first career start as a Steeler on September 10 in the NFL season opener against the New England Patriots.[97] In his debut, he ran for 127 yards on 21 carries, his most in a game since 2012.[98] In Week 2, against the San Francisco 49ers, Williams scored three touchdowns on 20 carries for 77 yards in the 43–18 victory.[99] Despite his success in the first two weeks of the season, Williams was used as a back up once All-Pro starter Le'Veon Bell returned from his two-game suspension. In Bell's first game back, Williams received only one carry for two yards in a Week 3 12–6 victory over the St. Louis Rams.[100] In Week 4, against the Baltimore Ravens, Williams had only two rushing attempts for five yards in the 23–20 loss.[101] On October 28, Williams was fined $5,787 for wearing eye black that read "Find the Cure" in honor of breast cancer awareness.[102] During a Week 8 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams rushed for 71 yards on nine carries and came in the game for Le'Veon Bell, who left with an injury.[103] It was reported that Bell had sustained a torn MCL and would miss the rest of the season, effectively making Williams the starting running back.[104]

In his first start since Week 2, Williams had a season-high 27 carries for 170 yards and scored two touchdowns, while accounting for 55 receiving yards on two receptions in a Week 9 victory over the Oakland Raiders.[105] On December 13, 2015, he had 23 rushes for 76 yards and two rushing touchdowns in a win over the Cincinnati Bengals.[106]

Already without Bell, in Week 17 on the road against the Cleveland Browns, Williams suffered an ankle injury and did not return.[107] This injury kept him out of the Steelers' 18-16 Wild Card Round victory over Cincinnati and the following week against the eventual Super Bowl champion Denver Broncos in the Divisional Round.[108][109] Williams finished the 2015 regular season with 907 rushing yards and a league-leading 11 rushing touchdowns.[110][111]

2016 season

Williams was again called upon to serve as the Steelers lead running back after another Le'Veon Bell suspension, this time for the first three games of the season.[112] After two weeks in the 2016 season, he was the league leader in rushing yards after rushing for 146 yards against the Washington Redskins in the season opener and 94 yards on a career-high 32 carries against the Cincinnati Bengals in the next game.[113][114] For his Week 1 performance, he earned AFC Offensive Player of the Week.[115] His production dipped later on the season and he finished with 343 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.[116] The Steelers made the playoffs and advanced to the AFC Championship.[117] In the 36–17 loss to the New England Patriots, he had 14 carries for 34 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown to go along with seven receptions for 51 yards. In addition, he had a successful two-point conversion in what was his final professional game.[118][119] On June 25, 2018, he announced on Facebook that he had retired from the NFL.[120]
