Professional career
Williams was signed by the Miami Dolphins after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft.
In 2016, Williams played in 15 games, rushing for 115 yards and three touchdowns while recording 23 receptions for 249 yards and three touchdowns.
Set to be a restricted free agent in 2017, the Dolphins tendered Williams at the lowest level. After reportedly wanting a larger contract than the $1.797 million tender for 2017, he officially signed the tender on May 11, 2017.
Williams entered the 2017 season second on the Dolphins running back depth chart behind Jay Ajayi. After Ajayi was traded to the Dolphins, Williams was named the starting running back ahead of Kenyan Drake. He started four games before suffering a shoulder injury in Week 12. He was diagnosed with a dislocated shoulder, and was expected to be out 2 to 3 weeks. He ended up missing the rest of the season as Kenyan Drake emerged as a key contributor for the Dolphins, starting the final six games with two 100 rushing-yard games.
