Williams gives Argonauts flexibility, versatility
The Canadian linebacker is preparing for his third CFL season but first with the Toronto Argonauts. B.C. dealt Williams to the defending Grey Cup champion this off-season for a 2023 first-round the Lions used to take Southern Utah defensive lineman Francis Bemiy ninth over all.
“Absolutely, we’re stacked at linebacker … we’re loaded at the position. Whoever is most resilient, whoever is the most consistent, that’s who the coaches will put out there to play.” Last season, Williams registered 89 tackles, seven special-teams tackles and three forced fumbles with the Lions. As a Canadian, Williams gives Toronto plenty of roster flexibility as well as lineup options as he played both the strong-side and middle linebacker spots with B.C.
“We feel like there’s good competition there. If a guy goes down, the next man up will be able to do the same job.”“We potentially could play two Canadian linebackers for our ratio,” Dinwiddie said. “He’s a heck of a player.Williams said a rugged Toronto defensive front allows linebackers the luxury of often playing clean and being able to run to the ball freely.
