In recent years, Connor Williams has made a name for himself as one of the top centers in the NFL. He started his career as a guard with the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Miami Dolphins and making the transition to center. His athleticism was instrumental in boosting Miami’s run game to one of the best in the league in 2023. However, injuries have plagued him throughout his season, culminating in a torn ACL in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, which many believed would keep him out of training camp and possibly the start of the 2024 season.
However, Connor Williams’ recovery has surpassed expectations, and his agent Drew Rosenhaus announced that he should be ready for the start of the season. Despite being a free agent, there is a possibility that Williams could return to the Dolphins; however, it is uncertain given their recent signing of Aaron Brewer.
If Williams can prove his health and readiness to play, he is likely to have several suitors in the offseason. Although he may not be at full strength yet, Williams has shown potential to be an average or better starting center with room for improvement. A one-year contract could allow him to showcase his abilities for a larger deal in the following offseason.
