Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens signed Williams on August 28, 2020. [5] He was waived on September 5, 2020, and re-signed to the practice squad the next day. [6] He was elevated to the active roster on December 2 for the team's week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and reverted to the practice squad after the game. [7] On January 18, 2021, Williams signed a reserve/futures contract with the Ravens. [8] Originally set to be third on the depth chart, injuries to J. K. Dobbins, Justice Hill, and Gus Edwards set him up to start in the season opener against the Las Vegas Raiders. [9] In the game, he had nine carries for 65 yards, including 35 yard run for his first professional touchdown, along with three receptions for 29 yards. However, the Ravens lost in overtime 27–33. [10] Williams quickly fell out of favor with the Ravens over the next few weeks and lost his starting role to Latavius Murray.
