The Professional Football career of Aeneas Williams was extraordinary, as he was a walk-on at Southern during his junior year and two years later would be a third round pick.
Williams was not on anyone's radar for greatness, but that is what he became in a career that began with the Cardinals. Winning the starting Cornerback on the right side, Williams was an All-Rookie with six picks and finished third in Defensive Player of the Year honors. The team moved him to the left side, where he was named a Pro Bowler six years in a row (1994-99), with First Team All-Pro honors coming in 1995 and 1997. Williams also led the NFL in Interceptions in 1994 (9) and had 55 over his career, 44 as a Cardinal.
The rebuilding Cards would trade Williams to the St. Louis Rams, where he would win a Super Bowl.
Williams entered the Cardinals Ring of Honor in 2008 and got the Pro Football Hall of Fame call in 2014.
