Rookie cornerback Joshua Williams made his first career start for the Kansas City Chiefs in Sunday’s 24-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Taking the snaps of injured starter Rashad Fenton, the first-year player experienced a true trial-by-fire against arguably the NFL’s top offense.
Williams gave up a pair of touchdowns, with wide receiver Stefon Diggs appearing to notably benefit from the defender’s inexperience on a third-quarter score. Speaking from the locker room on Thursday, the Chiefs’ fourth-round selection in April’s draft took an introspective tone on his performance.
“Aside from the obvious — the two touchdowns — I think there were some positives,” Williams claimed.
