Florida A&M football assistant coach Cedric Williams went to the NFL.
In June, the Rattlers’ co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach was selected for the NFL’s Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellowship on the Baltimore Ravens’ staff under head coach John Harbaugh.
The Charleston, South Carolina native spent his stay in Baltimore at the Ravens’ minicamp, working closely with the franchise’s offensive line coach, George Warhop, and assistant offensive line coach Travelle Wharton.
Williams and Wharton were college teammates as starting offensive linemen on the University of South Carolina’s football team. Wharton was also Williams’ best man at his wedding.
It was Williams’ seventh time doing the fellowship.

Ravens assistant head coach and running backs coach Willie Taggart called to bring Williams on board.
