Connor Williams was born on May 12, 1997, in Coppell, Texas. He attended Coppell High School, where he excelled in football, playing multiple positions including right tackle, tight end, and left tackle. As a senior, he was recognized as a second-team 6A All-State and All-district selection, showcasing his abilities on both offense and defense. Williams then secured a football scholarship to the University of Texas at Austin, where he immediately made an impact. As a freshman, he started all 12 games at left tackle. His collegiate career was highlighted by being named a consensus first-team All-American as a sophomore in 2016, becoming only the fourth sophomore in the university’s history to achieve this distinction. He played 5 games as a junior before declaring for the NFL Draft.
Williams was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the second round (50th overall) of the 2018 NFL Draft, intended to play guard. He started his career as the team’s starting left guard, playing eight games before being benched and then starting two games at right guard. In 2019, he again started as left guard for 11 games, but his season was cut short by a torn right ACL in Week 13. Despite this significant injury, Williams recovered to start all 16 games at left guard in 2020. In 2021, after briefly being tried at center during training camp, he returned to left guard but struggled with penalties, leading to him being benched for four games. He regained his starting position later in the season.
In 2022, Williams signed a two-year, $14 million contract with the Miami Dolphins and transitioned to playing center, starting all 17 games for the team. He was the only player to participate in 100 percent of the offensive snaps. In 2023, he played 9 games before suffering a season-ending left ACL tear in Week 14. He signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks in August 2024 and was named the starting center. However, on November 15, 2024, at 27 years old, he retired from the NFL midway through the 2024 season, having started all nine games he played for the Seahawks.
