Avery Williamson has a new NFL home

Avery Williamson’s NFL career isn’t over yet. The former Kentucky Wildcat linebacker was unemployed to start the 2021 NFL season but stayed in shape and by the phone in case a spot opened up.

On Tuesday, a new job opportunity came in the form of a practice squad contract from the Denver Broncos and Williamson accepted the position.

“Happy to be a part of Bronco Nation!!,” Williamson tweeted Tuesday night.

Now in his eighth NFL season, Williamson moves to the Mile High City to help a depleted Broncos linebacker room where multiple players are on injured reserve.
