[edit] Early years
Shaud's high school football career rushing mark of 7,712 yds remains 9th best in Texas history.
[edit] College career
He began college career at Texas Tech, but transferred to the University of Alabama in 2001. Upon arriving at the "Capstone", Shaud had to sit out year to satisfy NCAA transfer rules. In 2002, due to an early season ending injury to starter Ahmaad Galloway, Williams was effective immediately. After taking his first carry from scrimmage against the University of Arkansas in 2002, Williams raced untouched 80 yards to the end zone. Shaud shared the running duties with former player Santonio Beard. The duo combined for a virtually unstoppable rushing attack engineered by former head coach Dennis Franchione. The Crimson Tide finished the season with 10-3 without a bowl appearance due to being on probation. In 2003, Shaud Williams rushed for over 1,300 yards in his first full year as a starter.
[edit] Professional career
He was not selected in the NFL Draft.
Williams was fourth on the depth chart behind Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson, and Dwayne Wright. He re-signed with the Bills on December 6, 2007 after being released in training camp. He has played in the NFL for four years.
[edit] Personal
Shaud appeared on an episode of Da Ali G Show while he was attending the University of Alabama. He was asked a series of questions by the character Bruno that implied Bruno believed Shaud to be homosexual. Shaud seemed surprised, and concluded the interview by saying, "I'm not gay, so don't come looking for me."
