Two Bulls Sign Professional Contracts
Williams, a defensive back, finished last season 10th in the nation in passes defended with 14 in 11 games. As a whole, Williams was a member of a UB secondary that finished ninth in the nation and first in the Mid-American Conference in pass defense, allowing just 173.64 yards per game through the air. Williams finished third on the team with 61 tackles in 2005, giving him 258 for his career. He is also the school’s career leader in passes defended with 39 and his 176 total solo tackles rank fifth best in Bulls’ history.
The Bulls have now sent 15 players into the NFL since 1997. Williams joins tight end/long snapper Adam Johnson (2001-03), who recently signed a new contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Also playing professional ball are quarterback Chad Salisbury (1997-98) with the Grand Rapids Rampage and Dahnel Singfield (1999-02) with the Long Island Dragons, both of the Arena Football League. Former defensive back Mark Graham (2000-03) currently is on the Green Bay Blizzard in the Arena Football League 2 and wide reciever Andre Forde (1999-2002) can be found on the Tulsa Talons roster in the same league. |
