Greedy Williams Looks to Overcome Career Setbacks with Eagles

Greedy Williams, the cornerback for the Philadelphia Eagles, hopes to put the rocky part of his career behind him. Williams was a top prospect coming out of LSU, but his career hasn't gone to plan. After starting 12 games as a rookie in 2019, Williams missed his entire second season with a serious nerve injury in his shoulder. He returned in 2021 and had some success but wasn't able to turn into a star and then in 2022 he was a depth player. Williams is just eager to play his role, which will likely be competing with Zech McPhearson for the top backup corner spot behind Darius Slay and James Bradberry.
