Willie Williams was a cornerback in the National Football League. A member of Phi Beta Sigma, he was drafted out of Western Carolina University by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1993 where he spent 4 seasons. He was a key member of the 1995 Steelers team that played in Super Bowl XXX. From 1997 to 2003, Williams played for the Seattle Seahawks, before returning to the Steelers for the 2004 and 2005 seasons.
Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Willie played 13 years in the NFL and in March of 2007, after a career of 602 tackles and 26 interceptions, he decided to retire from football. Willie holds the distinction of being the only player from the Steelers 1996 Super Bowl XXX team to be a member of the Steelers 2006 Super Bowl XL roster, ten years later.
 Willie plans to devote much of his time in making the Show Them We Care Foundation a success for those in need in addition to maintaining his other businesses. A father of two boys, Willie believes it to be a blessing that he can teach his children the value of helping others and volunteering. His family has made it a point to donate their time to the community together.
Willie and his wife Melissa, both South Carolina natives, have vowed to make a difference in the lives of families and children in their home state. Willie has given much of his time, effort, and financial backing to many charities and communities over the years. It has been a passion of his and his wife to give back to their communities by making positive change.
