ESPN's Adam Schefter has reported that former LSU running back Josh Williams has made the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 53-man roster.

Williams began his career at LSU as a walk-on but eventually earned a scholarship and was awarded No. 18 in his final year with the Tigers last season.

Over five seasons at LSU, Williams played in 60 games, with 17 starts, and rushed for 1,494 yards with 17 touchdowns. He also had 600 receiving yards and one touchdown through the air.

Williams was not selected in the 2025 NFL Draft but signed with the Bucs as an undrafted free agent in May. Now, he'll be suiting up for them on Sundays.

They all do man. I’m really good friends with a former player and he tells me how much former players struggle going back to the “pedestrian” world.

He said they all wake up early, leave late and lay their body on the line.

Loved his drive - and a great attitude - love for walk-ons to pan out and thrive.

Wish him well.

I’ll never forget his effort on that Jayden Daniels TD run to beat Bama in OT. Absolute DOG. I always figured a smart team would appreciate his value. Especially a veteran qb.
