Dan Williams: 'I've been through a lot,' ready to take leadership role

SAN FRANCISCO – Dan Williams expects to be a Raider for some time. The 28-year old nose tackle is signed through the 2018 season, and hopes to play out that contract with a team he has grown to love.

That has Williams thinking big picture following a 7-9 season he considers a disappointment. It was four wins better than the year before, which prompted upheaval throughout the roster and the coaching staff. In Williams’ mind, it wasn’t good enough.

“To me, 7-9 doesn’t represent the strides that were made last season,” Williams told CSN California on Wednesday.
