Jets' Isaiah Williams Earns AFC Special Teams Player of the Week After Dominant Performance Against Former Team

Isaiah Williams, who spent the offseason with the Cincinnati Bengals before being cut and later signed by the New York Jets in September, was named the AFC special teams player of the week. His standout performance in the Jets' 39-38 comeback win over his former team included returning five kickoffs for 132 yards and three punts for 38 yards. Williams' 26.4-yard average on kickoff returns was the highest by an AFC player with at least four returns, and his 21-yard punt return was the longest in the league for the week. Williams, an Illinois alum, has been the Jets' primary punt and kickoff returner since joining the active roster.
