Williams was all over the field for the Bengals in 2019, helping the team in just about any way possible. Williams led the team in tackles with 112, five of which were for a loss, which is not bad at all for a safety. Only three players had more and they were all defensive ends (Carlos Dunlap, Sam Hubbard, Carl Lawson). Williams added a sack and an interception for good measure.
