Broncos Wire‘s 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at rookie defensive tackle Kristian Williams, No. 75.
Before the Broncos: Williams (6-2, 295 pounds) played six years of college football (2019-24). Williams spent three years at Oregon (2019-21), followed by three more seasons (2022-24) at Missouri. In his final three years with the Tigers, Williams totaled 80 tackles (11 behind the line), four forced fumbles, four pass breakups and one fumble recovery. He was a team captain in his final season.
Broncos tenure: Williams was inked as an undrafted free agent as part of the Denver Broncos‘ initial wave of signings after the 2025 NFL draft. Williams will make his Bronco debut during preseason next month.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. Williams is auditioning for a backup as the Broncos have starters entrenched with Zach Allen, D.J. Jones and John Franklin-Myers, plus notable backup Malcolm Roach and third-round draft pick Sai’vion Jones. If Williams is going to stick around in 2025, it would likely have to be on the practice squad.
