A former Clemson defensive lineman shined during the Denver Broncos’ 30-3 preseason victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night at Lumen Field in Seattle.
Former Tiger DeShawn Williams, who is entering his second season with the Broncos, provided a couple of the highlights of the night for his team with a fumble recovery and an impressive interception at the line of scrimmage.
Check out what they are saying about Williams’ big game on Twitter:
Jonathon Cooper's relentless motor causes the strip-sack, then DeShawn Williams — already having a heck of series at NT — scoops up the fumble. Nice takeaway by #Broncos 2nd team

What a game for DeShawn Williams. If there was any doubt he'd make the team, it evaporated tonight. So nimble for his size. Had a pick against the Patriots last year too.

DeShawn Williams said if he makes the roster in a couple weeks, it'll be the first time he makes the initial 53 in his career.
Said he'll probably break down with emotion.
"That's something special."

Impressed by the perspective and gratitude of Broncos' DL DeShawn Williams:
"Some people's success comes different. Some people have right-away success. Some people have to wait a couple years. If keep working, just working, then eventually you'll be in the position I'm in."— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) August 22, 2021
