What happened: The offseason change followed a rookie year in which Williams appeared in every game. Training camp will test how his lighter frame translates on the field.
Why it matters: A stronger second season would deliver more value from the 2025 first-round pick. Retaining his power at a lower weight will be central to expanding his role.
By the numbers: Williams recorded 18 tackles, two tackles for loss and one sack across 17 games in 2025.
What to watch: Watch whether Williams earns more work in the defensive tackle rotation as camp progresses.
