UNDRAFTED. UNGUARANTEED. STILL HERE. ⚔️

Former Morgan State star Elijah Williams has made the Minnesota Vikings’ 53-man roster for the second consecutive season.

Williams entered the NFL as a rookie minicamp tryout. No draft selection. No immediate free-agent contract. Just an opportunity he refused to waste.

He turned three days at minicamp into a contract. Then he turned that contract into a roster spot.

Now, after adding nearly 30 pounds and battling through another competitive training camp, the former HBCU Defensive Player of the Year is preparing for Year 2 in the NFL.

This is no longer just a feel-good underdog story.

Elijah Williams is building staying power.
