Tobias Williams (born November 19, 1959) is a former American football defensive lineman in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New York Jets in the 10th round of the 1983 NFL draft.[1] He played six seasons, as a defensive end and defensive tackle, all with the Patriots.
The 1987 season was interrupted by a labor dispute. Soon after the strike began, the Patriots coaching staff accused Williams of throwing a beer bottle at replacement players during a confrontation at a union picket line.[2] Williams missed training camp the next summer; the Patriots retained his rights but they gave him permission to negotiate with other teams. He signed with the Patriots just before the season began.[3] He retired from professional football after that 1988 season.
Since the mid-1990s, he has been an assistant coach at several high schools in suburban Boston, as well as at Bridgewater State College, Dean College and the University at Buffalo.[4]
He played college football at Nebraska. His daughter Candace Williams was a star college basketball player with the University of New Hampshire Wildcats through the 2009-10 season.
