Terry Williams (American football)

Terry Williams (born October 14, 1965 in Homestead, Florida) is a former American football defensive back in the National Football League. Williams was drafted by the New York Jets in the 2nd round (37th overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft,[1] where he played for two years until a knee injury ended his playing career. He was released by the Jets in April 1991.[2] His All-America talent on the track earned him a scholarship to play football at Bethune-Cookman College in 1984, where he played under former head coach and NFL Hall of Fame player (Miami Dolphins) Larry Little.[3]

Williams currently resides in Daytona Beach, where he has served as the defensive backs coach at Bethune-Cookman University since 1999.[4]
