College career
Williams ran for over 2,800 yards in his four years at Louisiana State University, and is fifth in Tigers' history in career all-purpose yards. In his final season at LSU, he was named to the All-SEC team. The Kansas City Chiefs selected Williams in the first round of the 1991 NFL draft.[3]
