The B.C. Lions have signed American defensive back Jaylin Williams.
The five-foot-ten, 188-pound native of Southaven, Miss. signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2023 and dressed for three regular-season games with the team, recording one tackle. During the preseason, he intercepted Drew Lock.
Williams spent a portion of the 2024 season on Minnesota’s practice roster but was eventually released.
The 24-year-old played 55 collegiate games at Indiana University where he made 155 total tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, six interceptions, two sacks, 30 pass knockdowns, and one fumble recovery. He was named second-team All-Big Ten in 2020.
Williams reportedly ran a 4.45-second forty-yard dash at his pro day along with a vertical jump of 34.5 inches.
