Cornerback Darious Williams didn’t know where he would land after his Super Bowl LVI victory with the Los Angeles Rams in February, but it later became clear as free agency closed in. With multiple offers on the table, that team ended up being the one in his hometown of Jacksonville, who he had a feeling he would join all alone.
“As soon as free agency hit and my agent said the Jaguars were coming after me, of course, I had to put a little pause on there to see what other teams were talking about, but I just knew it would be nothing like coming home,” Williams said to the media Friday. “I pretty much knew the whole time it was going to be the Jags. Of course, you still want to see just to see and not jump into stuff so quick. I couldn’t wait to come back home.”
Of course, Williams’ family was just as eager as he was when the reports came out of the Jags’ interest in him. However, Williams said his father was the most interested to find out as he called his son multiple times to see if a decision had been made.
