K’Waun Williams is entering his fifth year with the 49ers. Nobody will argue what he means to the defense. When he’s on the field, good things happen. That was the case last year, as Wiliams had more pass breakups and sacks than the previous two years combined.
The problem? Injuries. Williams missed half of the 2020 season thanks to a high-ankle sprain that seemingly half of the team suffered from. What most don’t remember was Williams being suspended for two games while he was injured for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Williams turned 30 on Monday.
