The last time cornerback Greedy Williams had an interception was in the third quarter of LSU’s 22-21 win at Auburn in 2018.
That is, until Sunday when Williams came up with a huge interception to preserve the Cleveland Browns’ 14-7 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFL’s Week 4.
Williams, a second-round draft choice in 2019, battled injuries in the first two years of his career. He played (and started) 12 games in his rookie season, and then missed all of last season after suffering nerve damage in one of his shoulders.
When Williams returned this season, he had lost his starting job but has been a key on special teams as well as a valued reserve.
On Sunday with the Browns nursing what became their final victory margin, Williams intercepted a pass from Vikings QB Kirk Cousins when Cousins threw deep looking for Minnesota receiver Adam Thielen.
“Getting this opportunity and taking advantage of it is kind of a blessing,” Williams said after Sunday’s game. “Without my support – teammates, family, God — I wouldn’t be here right now.”
