Williams was a standout college football at Syracuse University for three seasons from 2006 to 2009.<\/p>\n

He enjoyed a decorated collegiate career, finishing ninth in program history in career receptions, eighth in receiving yards, and second in touchdowns caught.<\/p>\n

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Williams in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

He had a stellar first season and finished second in voting for Offensive Rookie of the Year. <\/p>\n

Williams played with Tampa for three seasons and signed a five-year $39.62million contract extension before the Buffalo native was traded home in 2014 to the Bills.<\/p>\n

His final appearance in the NFL was in 2016, signing with the Kansas City Chiefs during the offseason.<\/p>\n
