Trill Williams Signs With WWE After NFL Career

Former NFL player Trill Williams has signed a contract with WWE after a successful tryout during SummerSlam weekend. The 24-year-old defensive back, who played for the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints, made his first on-screen appearance in a segment on NXT on November 12. Williams, who played college football at Syracuse, went undrafted in 2021 and faced setbacks including a torn ACL that limited his NFL career. Following his release from the Dolphins in August 2023, he decided to pursue a career in professional wrestling, joining the ranks of other athletes who have made similar transitions. He will start training at WWE's Performance Center in Orlando, with hopes of making a name for himself in wrestling. His journey reflects a growing trend of former football players entering the wrestling scene.
