Brandon Williams, the Dallas Cowboys third selection of the fourth round (120th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft, will look for his first experience in the NFL in 2010 after suffering a season-ending injury during the 2009 preseason. Williams saw action in two games in the 2009 preseason but did not record any defensive statistics. He suffered a torn ACL in his left knee against Tennessee (8/21/09) while covering a punt on special teams. The Fort Worth, Texas native concluded his collegiate career with 78 tackles, 20.5 sacks – good for the fourth-most all-time in Texas Tech school history - 27.5 tackles for loss, six forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and six pass deflections.
