Malcolm Williams (born May 23, 1993) is a professional Canadian football wide receiver for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He was undrafted in the 2015 CFL Draft, but was signed by the Toronto Argonauts as a free agent.[1]
College and junior career[]
He first played basketball for the UBC Thunderbirds in 2011, before switching to the football and playing for the Langley Rams of the Canadian Junior Football League where he played from 2012 to 2014. He then enrolled at the University of Manitoba where he redshirted with the Manitoba Bisons for the 2015 season due to transfer rules.[2] Rather than play for the Bisons in the 2016 season, he decided to sign a professional contract.
