Tramon Vernell Williams (born March 16, 1983) is an American football cornerback who is currently a free agent. He played college football for Louisiana Tech and was signed by the Houston Texans as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He has also played for the Green Bay Packers and was part of the Super Bowl XLV winning team over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Williams played football, basketball and ran track at Assumption High School in Napoleonville, Louisiana, but was overlooked by college football recruiters who instead scouted his teammate and friend Brandon Jacobs. In basketball, he was a four-year letterwinner, winning another district title on the hardwood. In his only year of track, he finished second in the state in the long jump, second in the triple jump and third in the high jump.
After graduating in 2001, Williams attended Louisiana Tech University. Originally intending to study electrical engineering, he earned Bachelor's degrees in sociology and computer science. He had joined the Bulldogs football team as a walk-on in his freshman year. He became a starting defensive back by his junior season.
