Terrance Williams (born October 14, 1965) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back in the National Football League (NFL).

Williams was selected by the New York Jets in the 2nd round (37th overall) of the 1988 NFL draft,[1] [2] where he played for two years until a knee injury ended his playing career. He was released by the Jets in April 1991.[3] His All-America talent on the track earned him a scholarship to play college football for the Bethune–Cookman Wildcats in 1984, where he played under then head coach Larry Little.[4]

Williams currently resides in Daytona Beach, where he has served as the defensive backs coach at Bethune–Cookman University since 1999.[5]
