Miami Dolphins UDFA defensive back Trill Williams has an unenviable task in his bid to try to make the Dolphins’ active roster. The Dolphins’ depth in the secondary is significant and doesn’t offer a lot of wiggle room to fit undrafted rookies — but Williams may force the Dolphins to make such a decision if he continues to bully opposing wide receivers in the preseason in the same way he did on one particular rep against the Bears this past Saturday.
The Dolphins lost 20-13 and the depth of the roster largely watched a 13-0 lead disappear in the second half — but Williams himself claimed one heck of a win in coverage on the outside and got himself some great social media engagement as a result.
Williams, in press, absolutely blows up the Bears receiver in question; but it is only the second-most savage piece of the puzzle with Williams’ viral moment. Captioning the play with “Bring ya kids to work day”?
That’s going to get some engagement.

Williams was a well-regarded prospect coming out of Syracuse but injury issues reportedly played a hand in his tumble through the draft. He certainly looks healthy here while providing a healthy serving of hands on the outside. Williams will need an impressive encore and continued flashes on special teams if he’s going to disrupt the expected pecking order during roster cuts. But, as is clear by Williams’ caption of his big moment from Saturday, he’s plenty confident. And that’s one of the most vital ingredients in successful defensive back play in the NFL — so never say never.
