Work with Nancy Reagan

Shortly after retiring, Williams began a years-long collaboration with Nancy Reagan on her signature project to prevent teens from doing drugs called "Just Say No". Williams focused on providing advice to youth on preventing drug use. In this capacity, he made many presentations with Mrs. Reagan.

Post-football career

On March 10, 2015, Williams launched a global internet sports radio show, LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL on MJWJ Global Radio Network. The one-hour talk show airs every Tuesday at 7:00 PM/CST, broadcasting live from Houston, Texas. It will explore a wide range of topics related to football focused on the athlete often unprepared for life after the sport. LIFE AFTER FOOTBALL will tackle a new topic each week and provide an open format for retired football players to voice opinions. The program offers a unique approach and perspective from a retired players point of view.
