Rookie defensive tackle Kristian Williams, wearing number 75, enters the preseason with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent after a notable college career split between Oregon and Missouri. Standing at 6-2 and weighing 295 pounds, Williams has shown promise with impressive stats: 80 tackles, 11 for loss, four forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in his last three seasons at Missouri. Despite being a team captain and showcasing leadership skills, making the 53-man roster seems unlikely given the strong competition from established players like Zach Allen and D.J. Jones.

Williams' path is made more challenging by the presence of several entrenched starters and strong backups. His best bet for remaining with the team might be through a practice squad position, where he can further develop his skills and gain experience. Coaches and fans alike will be keeping a close eye on his performance during the upcoming preseason games.
