K'Waun Williams

K'Waun Williams is a former NFL cornerback from Paterson, New Jersey, who played college football at the University of Pittsburgh. The Panthers list him as born July 12, 1991, and describe him as a versatile defensive back who developed into a starting cornerback and team captain. Williams measured 5 feet 10 inches in Pittsburgh’s college listing, while the NFL lists him at 5 feet 9 inches and 185 pounds.

Williams entered the NFL with the Cleveland Browns in 2014 and later became a prominent slot defender for the San Francisco 49ers. His career included a 2019 season in which he intercepted a pass against the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to NFL video coverage. He signed with the Denver Broncos on March 23, 2022, and was listed as a Broncos cornerback during the 2023 season, although he did not appear in that season’s regular-season statistics.

Denver identified Williams as an unrestricted free agent when the 2024 league year began on March 13, 2024. The retrieved sources establish Denver as his last documented NFL affiliation and do not establish a later team signing. His playing profile was built around cornerback coverage, slot-defense responsibilities and physical, competitive play in the secondary.
