Williams has been added to the NFC Pro Bowl roster after the Philadelphia Eagles' Asante Samuel was unable to play because of an injury.|||||||
Williams had a breakout season, starting all 16 games and leading the team with a career-high six interceptions and a career-best 23 passes defensed. Williams is the sixth Green Bay player to be named to the team, joining tackle Chad Clifton, safety Nick Collins, wide receiver Greg Jennings, linebacker Clay Matthews and cornerback Charles Woodson.

Williams, a fourth-year player out of Louisiana Tech, was regarded as a reliable No. 3 cornerback before veteran Al Harris sustained a season-ending knee injury late last season.

Williams is ready to take over for Al Harris, although the Green Bay Packers' second-year cornerback might not have to fill in for Harris for the rest of the season after all.|||||||
With Harris having suffered an injured spleen during last Sunday night's loss to Dallas _ an injury that will keep him out of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay but not necessarily for the rest of the season _ it's Williams who'll move into the starting lineup opposite the Packers' other veteran corner, Charles Woodson.
