Williams was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals 11th overall in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.[8]

On June 25, 2019, it was revealed that Williams underwent left shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum. Williams had suffered the injury while participating in OTAs two weeks prior to the surgery.[9] He was placed on the reserve/physically unable to perform list on August 31, 2019.[10] He did not play during his rookie season.

Williams entered the 2020 season as the Bengals starting left tackle. He started 10 of 12 games, missing two games due to injury, before suffering a knee injury in Week 14. He was placed on injured reserve on December 9, 2020.[11]

The Bengals picked up the fifth-year option on Williams' contract on April 29, 2022.[12]

Following the Bengals signing left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., Williams requested a trade in March 2023.[13] Williams chose to remain with the team, instead switching from left to right tackle.
