“I know we’ve been talking a lot about this player development job,” Riley said. “I thought what better than to have a guy that delivered a lot of touchdowns to you and a lot of big plays. He’s got one more ball here for you. He’s got one more opportunity here for you, man, so I thought let’s get your teammate on here to let you hear it.”

USC posted Williams will be the Trojans’ Director of Player Development. It’s a hire that will bring Williams back to his alma mater.
