Who is Darrell Williams, the UDFA linebacker just signed by the Redskins?

The Redskins announced a number of roster moves on Sunday. Among them was a change at the linebacker position. The team waived LB Garrett Sickels, a 6’3” 261 pound former Penn State player who was listed at the bottom of the depth chart as an outside linebacker. He was replaced by a 2019 UDFA linebacker from Auburn who, in his own words, has flexibility to play inside or outside. That player is Darrell Williams, a 3-year defensive player from the SEC.

During the 2018 season, Williams looked like the best shot Auburn had of breaking a 12-year drought without a true linebacker taken in the NFL Draft.
