Special talent for the Dores. Played both RB and CB. Was still very involved with Vanderbilt and was watching his kid at Corbs summer baseball camp not 3 days ago. Very sad.

On Friday, the San Francisco 49ers confirmed that former cornerback Jimmy Williams has passed away. He was 43 years old.
William started his college career at Vanderbilt as a running back before eventually switching over to cornerback.
In 2001, the Buffalo Bills selected Williams in the sixth round of the draft. However, he never played a down for the franchise.
Instead, Williams had a four-year stint with the 49ers. During that span, he had 88 total tackles, six passes defended and an interception. Additionally, he had 576 punt return yards and a touchdown.
Once his run with the 49ers came to an end, Williams signed with the Seattle Seahawks. He spent two years with them before joining the Houston Texans in 2008.
After his playing career ended, Williams went back to Baton Rogue to help out Episcopal High School.
Our thoughts are with Williams' family and friends at this time.
