Williams attended Lakes High School in Lakewood, Washington. He led his team to the championship game in his senior year and was the Associated Press Washington State Player of the Year.
Williams attended the University of Washington.
Williams was drafted 9th overall in the 2004 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was the third receiver taken behind Larry Fitzgerald (3rd overall) and Roy Williams (7th overall).
Williams put up disappointing numbers in his rookie season of 2004. He rebounded the first half of 2005, but in the second half, he had a slump brought on by a concussion.
Through the first six weeks of the 2006 season, Williams was among the top receivers in the NFL. An injury to the ankle of Byron Leftwich caused Leftwich to miss the remainder of the season. After David Garrard became the starting quarterback, Williams' production slipped.
Williams had his best game as a pro against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9 of the 2007 season, making 6 catches for 128 yards and 1 touchdown. His best professional season to date was in 2007, where he had 38 catches for 629 yards (an average of 16.6 yards per catch) and 10 touchdowns (more than twice his career total prior to 2007). In a game against the Oakland Raiders in Week 16, he broke the Jaguars' single season receiving touchdown record, with ten scores. A record previously held by the retired Jimmy Smith.
After spending the 2009 season out of football, Williams signed with the Seattle Seahawks on April 16, 2010. He was released from the Seattle Seahawks on June 18, 2010.
Williams was arrested in January 2006 and charged with possession of marijuana; he was permitted to enter a pretrial intervention program, which he successfully completed.[1] He was arrested again and charged with DWI and possession of marijuana on February 27, 2009 in Houston, Texas; both charges were later dismissed.[2] On April 5, 2009, police officials reported Williams was arrested on felony drug charges after scuffling with Houston police officers at a local night club. Police tasered Williams and took him into custody at which time police found what appeared to be a bag of cocaine in his back pocket.[3]
