The Denver Broncos witnessed an average season last year. After starting with a lackluster performance, the team showcased a mid-season comeback. They even smashed big teams like the Kansas City Chiefs with the resurgence of Russell Wilson.
The Broncos are going under a significant change as Wilson bid adieu to the team recently. The team has also faced uncertainties regarding cornerback K’Waun Williams, who bounced from one team to another in his nearly decade-long career. The veteran’s injury status cost him spot in the final roster of the Broncos team, but he is now eyeing a comeback.
Broncos CB K’Waun Williams expected to make NFL comeback
K’Waun Williams is gearing up for an incredible return to the NFL gridiron in 2024. The cornerback, who missed the entirety of the previous season due to an ankle injury, has recently received medical clearance, per NBC Sports.
According to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette, the veteran has been in talks with various teams but intends to finalize his decision post-draft. This strategic move reflects his commitment to making an informed choice and ensuring a seamless transition back onto the field.
Williams showcased his prowess on the field during his tenure with the Broncos in 2022 by amassing 44 tackles, an interception, and a sack in 14 games played. His versatile skill set has also been demonstrated during stints with the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns since his NFL debut in 2014.
However, the veteran faced stiff competition upon his return, particularly with the emergence of Ja’Quan McMillian, who impressed as a rookie for the Broncos in 2023. McMillian’s standout performance in the nickel position presented a formidable challenge for Williams to reclaim his spot in the lineup.
Looking at K’Waun Williams NFL career so far
K’Waun Williams went undrafted in 2014 and signed with the Cleveland Browns, kicking off his NFL venture with a two-year contract. His rookie season showcased his potential by tallying impressive stats with 38 combined tackles, eight pass deflections, and a sack in 13 games.
The veteran stepped into a more prominent role as the first-team nickelback next year. He rose to the occasion, delivering solid performances throughout the 2015 season. He recorded 39 combined tackles, three forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, a sack, and two pass breakups that season.
The Browns waived Williams in 2016, but the turning point came when the San Francisco 49ers signed him in 2017. His contributions on the field earned him a contract extension in 2021, highlighting his value to the 49ers.
The football player signed a two-year contract with the Broncos in 2022. He was placed on injured reserve last year and couldn’t play in the regular season or post-season.
