Williamson was the fifth-round draft choice of the Tennessee Titans back in 2014, where he played for 3 years before moving on to the New York Jets for 2 seasons.
Then last year, he signed with the Steelers. Now, he’s moving on to the Broncos.
Williamson made second-team All-SEC back in 2013 while he was with the Wildcats.
Last year, Williamson had 73 tackles, 1 sack, and 1 interception. So far this season, Williamson has not seen a lot of action.
Denver just traded former Texas A&M linebacker Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams last week.
