Coming out of high school, cornerback Joshua Williams was a zero-star prospect.

But he worked hard and after starring at Fayetteville State, Williams heard his name called Saturday in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Williams with the 135th overall pick in the fourth round.

Because he played at a historically Black college or university, Williams wasn’t as hyped as many other prospects.

But Williams, who is 6 foot 3, 195 pounds, is ranked as the No. 117 prospect by Pro Football Focus, and he can make big plays. Take a look at some of his highlights.

Here are some highlights from Ed Easton Jr. of Chiefs Wire.

Pro Football Network shared these plays:
