Chris Albany Williams (born January 2, 1959) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back for three seasons with the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). He was selected by the Bills in the second round of the 1981 NFL draft.[1] He had three interceptions and a fumble recovery in his professional career, all in 1983, in which he played in all 16 regular season games.[2]
