The Denver Broncos agreed to terms on a two-year, $7 million contract with defensive back K’Waun Williams on Tuesday.
Williams (5-9, 185 pounds) is a play-making slot cornerback who’s good not just in coverage but also as a run defender and even as a pass rusher, totaling five sacks and four interceptions in five years with the San Francisco 49ers.
Here are some highlights from Williams’ time in San Francisco:
Broncos fans will especially like this sequence from the NFC playoffs last year when defensive lineman DJ Jones recorded a sack followed by Williams recording an interception:
You guys might remember D.J. Jones and K’Waun Williams (now #Broncos teammates) from their performances against the Cowboys in the playoffs.

Jones and Williams will now reunite in Denver.
The Broncos seem poised to have Pat Surtain and Ronald Darby serve as their top two outside cornerbacks this season with Williams playing in the slot. That would leave Michael Ojemudia and Essang Bassey as the team’s depth options — Denver will likely add more CB depth through the draft and with college free agents next month.
