DeAngelo Chondon Williams (born April 25, 1983) is an American football running back who is currently a free agent. He played college football at Memphis, and was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft.
He starred in a dual role in Carolina alongside Jonathan Stewart, until Williams's release in the 2014 offseason. He returned in 2015 with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Williams was considered the top running back in the state of Arkansas in 2001, having played at Wynne High School in Wynne, Arkansas. He missed most of his sophomore season with a broken bone in his foot. As a junior, he gained 1,044 yards rushing and scored 14 touchdowns, leading him to be named to the Arkansas All-State team in 2000. As a senior, he rushed for a single-season record 2,204 yards and 34 touchdowns, averaging 10.4 yards per carry while leading his squad to the state 4A championship. He had 939 yards rushing in four playoff games, including 26 carries for 302 yards and six touchdowns against Greenwood; in the state championship game against Stuttgart, he rushed for 194 yards on 24 attempts, scoring two rushing touchdowns, one receiving touchdown and one return touchdown. He was named the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 2001 Offensive Player of the Year and was selected to the Associated Press Arkansas Super Team in 2001.
Also a letterman in track & field, Williams still holds the state 4A record in the 100-meter dash with an electronically-timed 10.81 seconds. He also helped lead Wynne to a second-place finish in the 2001 state track championships.
