The Cowboys opted to sign Williams over several other free agents the team hosted for an October 8, 2024, workout, including former second-round pick Denzel Mims.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Cowboys are signing WR Seth Williams and DE Luiji Vilain to practice squad after a workout Tuesday,\u201d\u00a0ESPN\u2019s Todd Archer\u00a0detailed in an October 8, message on X. \u201cThe club also worked out WRs Denzel Mims, Dante Pettis, Chad Cota, QB Max Duggan and DE Shaka Toney. DE Carl Lawson will be called up to 53-man roster from practice squad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what you need to know about Williams and Vilain.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Seth Williams Gives the Cowboys a Sizable Receiver at 6-Foot-3<\/h2>\n<p>Williams gives the Cowboys a big-bodied wideout at 6-foot-3 and 211 pounds. The receiver was selected by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL draft. Coming out of Auburn,\u00a0NFL.com\u2019s Lance Zierlein\u00a0highlighted Williams as being a legit red zone threat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of urgency and inconsistencies as a big pass catcher can be maddening during tape study,\u201d Zierlein detailed in his pre-draft profile of the receiver. \u201cWilliams is a different receiver in the red zone, where his size and length are huge advantages on jump-ball battles. However, between the 20s, his routes lack salesmanship, he\u2019s unable to create separation and he fails to use his size to prevail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite some of the flashes and his overall potential, he doesn\u2019t have the field demeanor of a player with an NFL-caliber competitive streak. His physical traits are certainly worthy of a Day 3 selection, but he needs to play with more passion if he wants to make it as a long-term pro.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Seth Williams Gives the Cowboys Some Receiver Depth With Brandin Cooks on Injured Reserve<\/h2>\n<div id=\"9d99a4317d2906ce94169d0d628b9ec8\" class=\"embed_container\">\n<div class=\"tweet-container\">\n<article class=\"tweet-container_article\">\n<div class=\"tweet-body\">\n<p>New Cowboys practice squad additions DE Luiji Vilain (53) and WR Seth Williams (13) made their practice debuts today #DallasCowboys<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-media tweet-media--4\">\n<div class=\"tweet-media__container\"><a class=\"tweet-media__img\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickHarrisFWST\/status\/1844083059743916419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"visible\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd-249XgAAWXW9.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd-249XgAAWXW9.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-media__container\"><a class=\"tweet-media__img\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickHarrisFWST\/status\/1844083059743916419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"visible\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd-3eyWkAAVDVp.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd-3eyWkAAVDVp.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-media__container\"><a class=\"tweet-media__img\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickHarrisFWST\/status\/1844083059743916419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"visible\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd_kDSXQAIN06U.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd_kDSXQAIN06U.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tweet-media__container\"><a class=\"tweet-media__img\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NickHarrisFWST\/status\/1844083059743916419\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow external\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"visible\" draggable=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd_kx0WYAAFIEM.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" alt=\"Image\" data-lazy-load=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/media\/GZd_kx0WYAAFIEM.jpg?format=jpg&amp;name=small\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The move come as starting receiver\u00a0Brandin Cooks is on Injured Reserve. Unfortunately, Williams has had minimal success in the NFL. Pettis or Mims would have been bigger names given their high draft status.<\/p>\n<p>Denver released Williams in August 2022 as the team finalized the 53-man roster ahead of the start of the season. Williams went on to have several short stints with the\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Heading Into the 2022 NFL Draft, Luiji Vilain Was Praised for his \u2018Explosiveness &amp; Upside\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>As for Vilain, the pass rusher has played for the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0and\u00a0Carolina Panthers. Coming out of Wake Forest, Vilain went undrafted in 2022 prior to these recent NFL stints. Here\u2019s how Zierlein described Vilain heading into the 2022 NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVilain could catch a \u2018project\u2019 label or a \u2018diamond in the rough\u2019 tag, but he\u2019s worthy of more than just a cursory conversation for teams,\u201d Zierlein wrote in the defender\u2019s pre-draft profile. \u201cHe never lived up to his four-star billing at Michigan and saw little playing time, but his explosiveness and upside frequently flashed on his Wake Forest tape from the 2021 season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s not a naturally instinctive player and lacks consistency as a run defender, but Vilain\u2019s measurables, athletic traits and upside as a pass rusher should make him worthy of a Day 3 pick.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After hosting a plethora of free agents, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0signed wide receiver\u00a0Seth Williams\u00a0and pass rusher\u00a0Luiji Vilain.
