Trill Williams, who played college football at Syracuse University from 2018 to 2020, made headlines with his impressive performance, which included four interceptions. Despite not being drafted in the 2021 NFL Draft, he signed as an undrafted free agent with the New Orleans Saints. However, after being waived for failing his physical, he found a new opportunity with the Miami Dolphins. Williams played five games during the 2021 season, contributing on both defense and special teams. Yet his football career came to an in when he suffered a torn ACL in August of 2022. This led to Williams being waived by the Dolphins.
