Carnell Lamar "Cadillac" Williams (born April 21, 1982) is an American football coach and former running back in the National Football League (NFL), currently serving as a running backs coach for the Auburn Tigers football team, for whom he also played college football.
He was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft and also appeared for the St. Louis Rams.
College career
After graduating from Etowah High School in Attalla, Alabama, Williams enrolled at Auburn University. He got the nickname "Cadillac" from a television sportscaster in Alabama for the style and the way he ran, and the name stuck. He started the 2001 season as a true freshman and the third running back on the depth chart. He played his outstanding talent and versatility as a running back in his eighth game of the season. Williams was promoted to start running after amassing 177 yards in a 42-17 loss to Arkansas. He led Auburn to a 24-17 win in the annual Deep South's Oldest Rivalry game against the University of Georgia, with 167 yards and two touchdowns, one of which was game champion. (The previous record stood before Tre Mason's 46 attempts and 304 yards against Missouri in the 2013 SEC Championship Game.) Williams was hospitalized early in the bitter in-state rivalry game against the University of Alabama (also known as the Iron Bowl) with a fractured collar bone and had to miss the remainder of the season. Williams played in nine games and finished with 614 yards on 120 passes (5.1 avg.) And six touchdowns.
Williams' 2002 season began as a promising one. Unfortunately, it came too late for him when he broke his lower left fibula against Florida and missed the last six games of the season. He has shot 745 yards on 141 attempts (5.3 avg.). In only seven games before the injury, there had been ten touchdowns in just seven games before the game.
Williams was told in 2003 that he would divide the workload with Ronnie Brown in the running back position. Since taking up the starting position when Williams went down with a broken ankle, Brown had had a fruitful season the previous year. Brown however, strained a hamstring early in the year and sat out the majority of the season's, leaving Williams as the sole starting running back. Williams went on to have a spectacular season, scoring 17 touchdowns and winning a career-best 1,307 yards on 241 attempts (5.4 avg.). Williams' 2003 season was a pivotal season for him because it demonstrated that he could stay fit and excel on his own. On the first play of scrimmage against Alabama, his highlight of the season was his touchdown run.
Williams decided to return to Auburn for his senior year in 2004. This was a good call as he, along with quarterback Jason Campbell, Brown, and others, aided the Tigers in an SEC Championship and Sugar Bowl winning season, ending with a perfect 13-0 record and a blasted #2 finish behind the University of Southern California. Williams continued to earn All-American honors and was selected to the All-SEC first team as both a running back and return specialist. With 1,165 yards on 239 yards (4.9 avg.), he led the team in rushing for the third time. And scored 12 touchdowns. He finished the season with 1,718 all-purpose yards, the third highest single-season figures in Auburn school history. Williams also threw one touchdown against Georgia. Some argue that Williams' senior year was not as good (4.9-yard rushing average, the lowest in his college career, for example) as his others due to poor blocking, and others argue that defenses focused on him specifically.
Williams finished his collegiate career with 3,831 yards on 741 attempts (5.2 yards per attempt) and 45 touchdowns, breaking all-time Auburn records of most running attempts by Joe Cribbs (657), and the most touchdowns by Bo Jackson (43), while finishing second in total rushing yards in a career behind Bo Jackson (43), while finishing second in total rushing yards in a career behind Bo Jackson (431). His school ranking of 5,033 all-purpose yards also ranks second in school history behind James Brooks.
Williams has also earned nine SEC Player of the Week awards in his career, the most in conference history.
Williams majored in sociology at Auburn. In December 2014, he returned to Auburn to finish the final coursework for a sociology degree.

Professional career
Williams was drafted with the fifth pick of the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2005. He has signed a five-year contract with the Chicago Bears, including former Auburn University teammate Ronnie Brown, who was drafted 2nd by the Miami Dolphins and Cedric Benson, and quarterback Cedric Benson, who was drafted 4th by the Chicago Bears, have been drafted ahead of him, as well as former Auburn University teammate Ronnie Brown, who was drafted 4th by the Miami Dolphins and Cedric Benson, who was drafted 4th
Pro Football Weekly's Jeff Reynolds said Williams would have the best impact in the 2005 NFL season, adding that "on the Senior Bowl, Jon Gruden was salivating over this kid." He was pulled out really early. Don't think that was a coincidence. He's the perpetrator. Gruden has made it up, Cadillac or bust.
Williams' first half of the season was a roller coaster. Williams rushed for 434 yards in his first three weeks as the first rookie to have three straight 100 yard games and rushing for the most yards in his first three weeks of a career, a record set by the 1955 Baltimore Colts' Alan Ameche. Williams was also named rookie of the week for the first three weeks of the season and rookie of the month for September. His shoes and gloves from week three were then transferred to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Williams, on the other hand, suffered with ankle and arch injuries in his right foot in week four, causing him to miss two weeks. Williams only passed for 82 yards on limited carries in the next four games he played, including the one in which he was injured. However, he averaged over 100 yards per game (408), in his next four games. Williams completed six 100-yard games in 14 starts in his rookie season, led all rookies in total rushing yards (1,178), ranked second (second) and second in second, behind Brandon Jacobs for rushing touchdowns (6).
Williams was named the Associated Press NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year award on January 4, 2006. A national team of 50 sports writers and broadcasters who cover the NFL received 47 votes. He defeated former running mate Ronnie Brown of Miami, who received one vote. Heath Miller of Pittsburgh and offensive lineman Logan Mankins of New England also received one vote. Based on the votes of over 1,000,000 viewers to NFL.com, Williams was named the Rookie of the Year Award winner on February 2, 2006.
Williams was unable to match the success of his rookie campaign in 2006 as he failed to reach the 1,000 yard mark. Poor offensive line play and a shoulder injury that nagged him all year contributed to his reduced output.
Williams suffered a torn patellar tendon injury to his right knee against Carolina in October 2007, which required surgery and ended his season. Doctors were worried that after this horrific injury, he would return to full fitness. Williams, on the other hand, said he had "no doubt" he would play in 2008.
Williams began training with the team in the mid-season of 2008 and was rated as questionable on the official injury report. He was taken off the Physically Unable to Perform list and added to the active roster in November. He played in his first game in 14 months against Detroit. He scored his first touchdown against the Saints on November 30 for his first touchdown since returning from the team. However, Williams sustained another torn patellar tendon injury in his left knee during the season's final game on December 28, this time in his left knee.
Williams' second injury was not as bad as the first, but Williams had to recover from surgery and a lengthy period of rehabilitation to get back to the field. He returned to football action in the 2009 preseason and was the Buccaneers' first NFL player to return from patellar tendon tears in both knees. Williams had his first 100-yard rush game in two seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on December 27, finishing second with 823 yards, his second highest total of his NFL career. With a 3.9 average and four touchdowns, he rushed for 821 yards on 210 attempts for 821 yards on 210 yards. He has also caught 29 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had high hopes for their former National Football League Rookie of the Year Award winner after Williams' resurgent 2009 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season, in which he appeared in all 16 games for the first time in his career. However, Williams was primarily the third down running back for the 2010 Tampa Bay Buccaneers season, due to the emergence of undrafted rookie sensation LeGarrette Blount. On third down, Williams was a passing danger on third down and ended the season with 46 receptions for 355 yards and one touchdown (a come-from-behind, game-winning catch from Josh Freeman with ten seconds remaining in the fourth quarter against the St. Louis Rams)). Cadillac finished the 2010 NFL season with 125 passes for 437 yards and two touchdowns (one against the San Francisco 49ers and one against the Carolina Panthers), helping his team reach a ten-track record. Williams was unrestricted free agent in 2011 and the Buccaneers missed the 2010-11 NFL playoffs.
Williams signed with the St. Louis Rams on August 3, 2011 to be Steven Jackson's backup. Williams had 91 yards on 19 carries against the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2011 regular season opener. Williams played for St. Louis throughout the season, mainly in a back-up role. He had 361 passing yards and 4.1 yards per carry on the year. In the last game of the season against the San Francisco 49ers, he also scored one rushing touchdown.
Coaching career
Williams spent time as an offensive graduate assistant at the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia, in the 2016 season. Williams later served as the running backs coach for the newly formed IMG White football team at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.
Williams was the running backs coach for the Birmingham Iron of the Alliance of American Football in 2018. However, he was hired as Auburn's running backs coach on January 23, 2019.
