The Jets signed two players off waivers last week following roster cuts. One was Quinnen Williams’ older brother.
Linebacker Quincy Williams was taken in the third round of the 2019 draft by the Jaguars – 96 picks after his brother. Injuries derailed his time in Jacksonville, though, and Williams was waived before the 2021 season.
Williams, 25, earned a starting role in Week 1 and started eight of his 11 active games in 2019 but was placed on injured reserve before Week 14 with a hand injury. He missed half the 2020 season with a core muscle injury. Williams tallied 59 combined tackles, three tackles for a loss and one forced fumble in 18 games over two years with the Jaguars.
Here are few more things to know about the Jets’ newest linebacker.
