When the Steelers announced on Thursday that they had signed inside linebacker Vince Williams to a four-year deal through 2021 season, it just felt right.
In-fact, even though this is now the third contract Williams has signed with the Steelers since they picked him in the sixth-round of the 2013 NFL Draft (he inked a two-year extension in 2016), it feels like he has finally arrived as a legitimate member of the black-and-gold defense.
Despite starting 11 games in his rookie year, following a season-ending injury to veteran Larry Foote in Week-1, Williams saw his playing time decline in 2014.
