Bengals veteran to cut his teeth at coaching during SEC program's spring football game

Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams is more than just a running back. He's also a kickoff returner on the field, occasional college professor off the field, and soon, a coach on the sidelines.

Williams will be a coach for Texas A&M's alumni flag football game, which will take place during half time of the football team's spring game this Saturday.

Williams, a former Aggie, will coach alongside fellow former player Jake Matthews for Team Pickard.

The Bengals drafted Williams out of Texas A&M in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the first draft class of the Zac Taylor era. Taylor was also a former graduate assistant at the school.

Williams re-signed with Cincinnati for the second straight year last month. He'll play his sixth season with the Bengals in 2024, and as the third running back on the depth chart and the team's primary kickoff returner, he's got a great chance of making through final cuts once more.

Williams taught a "Name, Image & Likeness and Athlete Advocacy" course at the Texas A&M Law School last spring. It's no surprise he's trying his hand at coaching, even if it's for a flag football game in the middle of a spring game.
