Michael D. Williams (born January 11, 1980 in Dallas, Texas) is an offensive tackle in the National Football League, currently playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills out of the University of Texas with the fourth pick of the 2002 NFL Draft.
Williams is considered by some to be the biggest bust of GM Tom Donahoe's tenure.[citation needed] While he provides good run blocking on the right side, he has not yet shown a flair for pass blocking and remains an unpolished player. Due to continued woes on the Bills' offensive line, Williams was moved by the coaching staff to left guard in order to assess his talents on the inside of the line. This tryout, though, was cut short by Williams' semi-frequent injuries.
After the 2005 season, Williams was cut. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 14, 2006. Unfortunately, he was placed on injured reserve on August 29, ending his season.
