Timeline

1980

Roy Lee Williams (born August 14, 1980), is an American former professional football player who was a safety in the National Football League (NFL) for nine seasons.

He played college football for the Oklahoma Sooners, earning unanimous All-American honors.

1999

Williams attended the University of Oklahoma, and played for coach Bob Stoops's Oklahoma Sooners football team from 1999 to 2001.

2000

He was a starter on the undefeated 2000 Oklahoma Sooners team that won the BCS National Championship, setting a school record for tackles for a loss by a defensive back with 12.

2001

In 2001, his junior season at Oklahoma, he won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy as the nation's top overall defensive player and also won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back, while leading the team to a 10-2 record and a win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Cotton Bowl Classic.

He was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and a first-team Big 12 selection, and recognized as a unanimous first-team All-American.

Williams decided to forgo his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.

Nicknamed "Superman" while at Oklahoma, Williams is remembered at OU for his actions in the 2001 Red River Shootout.

The Sooners led 7–3 with only minutes remaining as the Longhorns offense took the field, hoping to execute a game-winning drive.

With Texas forced to begin their drive inside their own 5-yard line, the Sooners prepared to pressure UT quarterback Chris Simms.

Williams timed the snap perfectly.

Simms barely had time to pull back from center when Williams came flying in from the blindside over the top of a Longhorn running back who barely had time to rise out of his stance.

The jarring and unexpected hit knocked the ball loose and into the hands of linebacker Teddy Lehman, who stepped into the endzone for a touchdown and sealed the game for Oklahoma.

This play has been immortalized on a mural plaque at the Roy Williams Strength and Speed Complex at the University of Oklahoma.

The complex is named for Williams both for his athletic achievements and for his donation of approximately $100,000 towards its construction.

2002

He was selected by the Dallas Cowboys eighth overall in the 2002 NFL Draft, and played professionally for the Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.

Williams was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the first round with the eighth overall pick of the 2002 NFL Draft after a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs.

He was known throughout the league for his hard hitting and his tackling skills during running plays.

With the arrival of Ken Hamlin from Seattle, Williams had the luxury to move closer to the line of scrimmage to blitz and cover short passes during nickel or dime situations.

As a rookie in 2002, he was moved to free safety in order to play alongside strong safety Darren Woodson.

However, the Cowboys defensive scheme that year allowed both players to interchange positions so as to confuse opposing offenses.

He tied the franchise single-season record for most interceptions returned for touchdowns with two.

Williams was also the runner-up for Defensive Rookie of the Year.

2003

He earned five straight Pro Bowl selections from 2003 to 2007.

Williams was considered by some to be of the most violent hitters in football during his playing career, and sometimes received criticism for his perceived “dirty” play-style.

Williams is currently a sideline reporter for Oklahoma football games.

Williams was born in Redwood City, California.

He graduated from James Logan High School in Union City, California, where he played quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back for the Logan Colts high school football.

In 2003, Williams with the mentoring of Woodson, enjoyed a stellar season and his first trip to the Pro Bowl as he was part of the Cowboys' number one ranked defense and helped lead the team to its first playoff game since 1999.

Williams is occasionally referred to by fans as "Biscuit", in reference to a statement in a 2003 press conference by former head coach Bill Parcells who, noting Williams' weight, said that he was "a biscuit short of a linebacker".

2004

In 2004, Woodson suffered a herniated disc in training camp and was forced to sit on the sidelines.

Williams' struggles were more apparent as he was forced to play more coverage due to the inexperience and inconsistency of the Dallas cornerback position.

After the season, the horse-collar tackle was banned.

This action is now referred to as the "Roy Williams Rule", as the rule was introduced the 2004 season, during which Williams used the technique on plays that resulted in three significant injuries.

2005

With the right cornerback position stabilized by the free agent signing of Anthony Henry in 2005, Williams was once again able to play to his best strength by roaming closer to the line of scrimmage.

At the end of the 2005 NFL regular season, Williams had 2.5 sacks and three interceptions.

He earned his third Pro Bowl berth in 2005 and remained a dominant force for the Dallas defense.

2006

In early August 2006 the Dallas Cowboys signed Williams to a four-year contract extension worth $25.2 million to keep him with the team through the 2010 season.

2007

On December 17, 2007, Williams was issued a one-game suspension without pay from Commissioner Roger Goodell.

He received it for a repeat offense violating the league's horse-collar tackle rule.
