Seahawks mourn loss of former Special Teams Captain Jimmy Williams

The Seattle Seahawks are mourning the passing of a former teammate, Jimmy Williams. The team issued the following statement via Twitter on Friday. Williams was just 43.

“The Seahawks are devastated by the loss of former Special Teams Captain Jimmy Williams,” the statement read. “Williams played two seasons for the Seahawks and was a member of Seattle’s Super Bowl XL team. We send our deepest condolences to the entire Williams family.”

Williams originally was drafted by the Bills in the 2001 NFL draft but ended up signing with the 49ers instead. After four years in San Francisco, he spent the next two in Seattle with the Seahawks, making his Super Bowl appearance as a team captain. He spent one season in Houston before retiring from the NFL.

Seahawks Wire sends our condolences to Williams’ family and friends.
