Preston Williams once upon a time was a rookie sensation for the Miami Dolphins, but now he’s trying to salvage his football career.
The wide receiver who led Miami in receptions through the first half of the 2019 season as a rookie free agent has signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League.
This comes after Williams spent time with the D.C. Defenders of the United Football League this spring.
Williams spent three seasons with Miami after arriving as an undrafted rookie out of Colorado State, and showed promise in his first two seasons before they were cut short by injuries.
In 2019, he had 32 catches for 428 yards and three touchdowns through the first eight games before tearing an ACL while returning a punt.
After making his way back the following season, Williams again played eight games and averaged 16 yards on his 18 catches with four touchdowns.
But he sustained a foot injury on his last touchdown, getting hurt when he was tackled into the end zone after catching a pass from Tua Tagovailoa, who was making his second NFL start that day.
Williams again appeared in eight games the following season, but he caught only six passes and fell out of favor with the coaching staff.
