Demorrio Dwain Williams (born July 6, 1980) is a former American football linebacker. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the fourth round of the 2004 NFL draft.[1] He played college football at Kilgore College for two years, then played at Nebraska.

Williams also played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Diego Chargers.

College career

Williams was born in Beckville, Texas. After high school, he signed with rural Cisco Junior College, but soon left the school. Following a year of oil field work, he decided to walk-on to Kilgore College located in the town of Kilgore, Texas. It was here that Kilgore head coach Jimmy Rieves decided to change him from a cornerback to a linebacker, and he excelled there. Williams helped lead Kilgore to an undefeated season in 2001, and a #2 national ranking. Prior to entering the NFL, Williams played for the University of Nebraska, where he completed his degree in sociology.
