Early life

At Calvary Baptist Academy, Williams was able to win consecutive state titles, with quarterback Shea Patterson.[1]

College career

[edit | edit source]

After redshirting his first year, Williams earned a starting spot after junior Kevin Toliver II was suspended. After Toliver came back from suspension, Williams kept his spot throughout the season.[2] As a freshman, Williams led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in interceptions and passes defended.[3] As a result, he was selected to the All-SEC first-team. He became only the second LSU freshman to make the All-SEC team since 1986 (the other being Brad Wing in 2011).[4] On December 2, 2018, Williams announced that he would forgo his remaining two years of eligibility and declare for the 2019 NFL draft.[5]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Williams was nicknamed "Greedy" by his aunt, who called him "Greedy-Deedee" after babysitting him as an infant. His mother later took out the Deedee, and Williams adopted the name. In 2015, he told USA Today "I love [the nickname]. They say it’s a great DB name. It helps to be greedy as a defensive back."[1]

His brother Rodarius Williams is a cornerback who was selected by the NFL's New York Giants as a sixth round pick in the 2021 NFL draft.
