The Broncos made another move to fortify their defense Friday when they signed linebacker Worrell Williams and released Devin Bishop.
The 6-foot, 250-pound Williams joins the same linebacking corps in which his older brother, D.J., has thrived for the past six seasons.
Williams went unselected in the 2009 NFL Draft and tried out with San Francisco that spring before joining the UFL. The 24-year-old recorded two tackles and a pass break-up with the California Redwoods during their inaugural season.
Williams starred collegiately at California, where he started 36 of the 49 games he played. The linebacker finished his Golden Bear career with 246 total tackles, earning honorable mention All-Pac-10 honors for his senior season.
With the Broncos, Williams will wear No. 49.

Hope he can contribute to the special teams.
Welcome Worrell.GO Broncos!
freak30 called that one around noon two blogs ago, good info.
is he inside outside or both
Worrell played OLB in high school, on the weakside at Cal through 2006 and middle LB in 2007 and 08, was not drafted or signed by anyone in 09.
I hope he has potential and the athletic ability as his brother has. Then the Broncos will have a legit Williams (Brothers) Wall!!!

Some good highlights on his collegiate career
Best of luck. Depth never hurts. Especially with ALL the injuries.
GO BRONCOS 2K10!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks bay…
Yea I found that info on ESPN. I hadn’t heard anything about it since then and I really think that he can contribute to our team in not just special teams but also fill in on our linebacker spots!! DJ should be providing him help whenever asked so I am very happy about that!! Just know one thing, he will definitely contribute more than Bishop did!! Just like Bay said, I provided the post on the blog a few blogs ago and also provided the youtube highlights of his but it looks like Boy already put them on this blog so it’s all good!! I hope he will be playing some in tomorrows game!! I can’t wait for the game tomorrow!! I really hope Tebow plays even though I am pretty sure that he won’t! Hopefully Decker plays a lot and makes some really good plays!!!
I love me some Broncos Country!!!
seems pretty cool liked his free style as well lol
Happy about this. Saw his highlight reel, and the talent is definitely there. Maybe he just lacks refinement or a clearshot. Either way, I think he can, and pray that he does succeed as more than just a Special teamer on the Broncos. Him and DJ both starting at ILB in the 3-4 would be amazing. But he’s gotta earn it, and I believe he can. Best of luck to him. TRB out…
he looks good a smash mouth football type of guy. I wonder why no teams picked him up
Give him a shot and see if he can earn it,anybody know how long his contract is for and how much $$$$$$ ???
