Vince Williams Fantasy Stats

Long-time Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Vince Williams announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday. The former sixth-round pick out of Florida State in 2013 played his entire eight-year career with Pittsburgh, racking up 479 tackles (333 solo), 45 QB hits, two interceptions (one for a TD), five passes defensed, six fumble recoveries and 20.5 sacks in 121 games (69 starts). The 31-year-old finished with 70 tackles (47 solo), four QB hits, two fumble recoveries and three sacks in 14 starts for the Steelers in his final season in 2020.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are re-signing inside linebacker Vince Williams to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to sources. Williams was released in March in a move to get the team under the salary cap. In 14 starts for Pittsburgh last year, he had 70 tackles and three sacks for the Steelers. Williams' usage jumped significantly in 2020 after the departure of Mark Barron, as he played 65 percent of the defensive snaps, up from 37 percent in 2019. The 31-year-old was a full-time starter for the team in three of the last four seasons after he was a sixth-round pick in 2013. Williams has two interceptions (one returned for a TD), 20.5 sacks and 333 solo tackles in 121 career games (69 starts) in eight seasons with Pittsburgh. There's a good chance he could retire after the 2021 season.
