Kyle Williams Replaces Ndamukong Suh at Pro Bowl: Latest Details and Reaction

Joe PantornoJan 20, 2017

The Buffalo Bills announced on Friday that defensive tackle Kyle Williams has been named to his fifth career Pro Bowl.

The 11-year veteran replaces Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who will be unable to play due to an injury.

With this selection, Williams becomes the third Bills defensive lineman alongside Hall of Famer Bruce Smith and Fred Smerlas to be selected to five or more Pro Bowls.

The 33-year-old appeared in 15 games this season, compiling 64 tackles and five sacks as he showed no signs of slowing down. It was the fifth time in his career that he recorded at least five sacks in a single season, and he became the Bills' all-time leader in sacks for a defensive tackle. 

He will now join running back LeSean McCoy, linebacker Lorenzo Alexander and guard Richie Incognito as representatives of the Bills at the Pro Bowl.

Despite his success, rumors have been circulating that Williams could retire before the start of the 2017 season or that the Bills could cut him due to his $8.3 million cap hit next year, per Jerry Sullivan of the Buffalo News.

If 2016 was indeed Williams' final year with the Bills or in the NFL, he will at least go out with another Pro Bowl selection as a member of the only team he's ever known in the league.
