The Detroit Lions are set to sign former Florida State running back Roydell Williams, who was recently released by the Indianapolis Colts. Williams, a 24-year-old undrafted rookie, signed a three-year $3.1 million contract with the Colts last July. Despite this, he only appeared in one preseason game for the team, rushing for a total of 4 yards on 3 carries.
Williams was subsequently waived by the Colts following the addition of NFL legend Keenan Allen to the roster. Before joining the NFL, Williams played college football for six seasons, first at Alabama and then Florida State, where he rushed for 1,219 yards and scored 13 touchdowns across 48 games. The Lions, led by running back Jahmyr Gibbs, are reportedly bolstering their running back corps with Williams' addition.
