Toby Williams

Toby Williams, born November 19, 1959, is a former American football defensive lineman who played in the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the New York Jets in the 10th round of the 1983 NFL Draft and played for six seasons, primarily as a defensive end and defensive tackle, all with the Patriots. During the 1987 season, a labor dispute interrupted play, and Williams was accused by the Patriots coaching staff of throwing a beer bottle at replacement players during a union picket line confrontation. After retiring from professional football in 1988, Williams pursued a career as an assistant coach at various high schools in suburban Boston, as well as at Bridgewater State College, Dean College, and the University at Buffalo. He played college football at Nebraska.
