DENVER, Colo. - Former Wake Forest wide receiver Marshall Williams has signed a free agent contract with the Denver Broncos.
Williams was an All-ACC wideout for the Demon Deacons, finishing his career with 110 receptions for 1,529 yards and 10 touchdowns.
His best season in the Black and Gold came in 2009 when he caught 60 passes for a team-high 867 yards. That is the sixth-most receiving yards in a single-season in school history. He also finished fourth in the ACC in receptions per game (5.0) and third in receiving yards per game (72.2).
Williams is wearing the No. 14 for the Broncos as the team started training camp Thursday morning in Englewood, Colo. The Durham, N.C. native is the first member of the Demon Deacons' class of 2011 to sign an NFL contract.
