NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS SCOUT CAMREN WILLIAMS SETTING EXAMPLE OF POST-PLAYING CAREER SUCCESS FOR OHIO STATE FOOTBALL PLAYERS
Camren Williams, like many others who have played football for Ohio State, has gone on to have a career in the NFL since playing for the Buckeyes. Unlike most of those others, however, Williams has done so without ever playing a down in the league.
The New England Patriots hired Williams, a linebacker for Ohio State from 2012-15, as a scouting assistant in February 2016. Now, Williams is going into his third year with the reigning AFC champions, with the Patriots recently promoting him to the role of area scout.
As Williams begins to climb the ladder of the Patriots’ scouting department, he says his experiences playing football for Ohio State have gone a long way in enabling him to now be successful on the front office side of the sport.
"My best experience that prepared me for this job was my experience on the football field," Williams said. "Sitting in the meeting rooms with (former Ohio State coach) Luke Fickell, sitting in the meeting rooms with (Ohio State defensive line coach) Larry Johnson and (former Ohio State assistant coaches) Everett Withers and Chris Ash and all those guys, that’s what really got me ready for this. And I’m indebted to those people for the rest of my life."
Williams repaid some of that debt to Ohio State by attending the football program’s annual job fair at Ohio State on Friday, where he and another member of the Patriots’ scouting staff met with some of the current Buckeyes to trade business cards and answer their questions about working as a scout. Williams also spoke to the team as a group prior to Friday’s event.
