CB Williams Healthy, Hungry

Bills second year cornerback Aaron Williams has experienced quite the NFL roller coaster in just one short year. The lingering lockout prohibited him from gaining any experience in OTA's, throwing him right into the mix of an NFL training camp just 11 months ago. Williams suffered what appeared to be a significant neck injury in week three against New England, ultimately sidelining him for eight weeks. He returned in week 11, recording five passes defended, one forced fumble, and his first career interception over the last seven games.

This year, in his first round of OTA's with the Bills, Williams is healthy and much more hungry and aggressive. writes Jay Skurski of the Buffalo News. To see this type of attitude from such a young player speaks volumes about his character both on and off the field. While Williams may not be a week one starter, he continues to make strides on the Buffalo defense. With Terrence McGee, Leodis McKelvin, and rookie Stephon Gilmore in the mix, there will be plenty of different sets that the Bills will employ with their defensive backs this season. Nevertheless, Williams will see his fair share of snaps this season, and with the improvements that the Bills made in their front seven, it should mean great things for a talented secondary.
