Terrell Williams: ‘It wasn’t a ‘little’ medical scare, it was a medical scare’

by | May 13, 2025

Former East Carolina star and current New England Patriots defensive coordinator Terrell Williams said he is recovering after a medical scare last week.

Williams spoke to reporters and gave an update on his condition after last weekend’s rookie minicamp, saying he is “doing OK” now.

Williams, 50, played nose guard at ECU and was on the 1995 Liberty Bowl team that beat Stanford. He was named the Patriots’ defensive coordinator earlier this year.

“I came back home here to Detroit for spring break and had a little medical scare — I mean, it wasn’t a ‘little’ medical scare, it was a medical scare,” said Williams. “Since then, per doctor’s orders, I’ve kind of stayed here in Detroit, and been handling that.

“While I’m talking about it, I want to talk about the seriousness of taking care of our health and loving the people we love. Because when something traumatic happens, and it was traumatic for me, it gave me an opportunity to reflect and look back at the people I care about that make a difference in my life.”
