The Packers have re-signed the Pro Bowl cornerback, the team announced Friday. Williams spent his first nine NFL seasons in Green Bay and played a pivotal role during the Packers’ Super Bowl XLV run in 2010.
The 5-foot-11, 191-pound cornerback started 83 of the 111 games he played during his first run with the Packers, posting 386 tackles, 25 interceptions, 125 passes defensed, 4½ sacks, five forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries.
The move reunites Williams with Packers pass-game coordinator Joe Whitt Jr., who helped develop the former Louisiana Tech walk-on from an undrafted practice-squad player to one of the league’s leading ball hawks from 2008-11.
