The San Francisco 49ers announced on Wednesday they have re-signed nose tackle Ian Williams to a one-year contract.
“Through his dedication and hard work, Ian has grown into an excellent player on the field, a leader in our locker room and a positive influence in our community,” said general manager Trent Baalke. “He is a true professional, who has battled through a number of obstacles to this point in his career, and his perseverance is a tremendous example for everyone in our organization. We are very excited Ian has chosen to continue his career with the 49ers.”
Williams (6-1, 305) originally signed with San Francisco as an undrafted free agent in July of 2011, and went on to make the 53-man roster that year.
