Daryl Williams

2015 · Round 4 · Pick 102 · OT · Carolina Panthers

Daryl Williams was born in Newport News, Virginia, and attended Lake Dallas High School in Corinth, Texas, where he was also a shot-putter. A four-star recruit, he started at Oklahoma for three seasons (2012–2014), all 13 games in each of the last two. He was second-team All-Big 12 in 2013 and first-team in 2014. Carolina drafted him in the fourth round, 102nd overall, in 2015, and he played in Super Bowl 50 as a rookie. He became the Panthers' full-time right tackle in 2017, starting all 16 games, and was second-team All-Pro that season. He later played for Buffalo (2020–2021). He started 74 of 89 NFL games and is retired. Tidbit: he dislocated his kneecap and tore his MCL in 2018 training camp, yet still started the season opener.
