At the start of training camp, Williams spoke to the media about how he's feeling heading into his 16th season in the NFL and sixth in San Francisco.

"I feel good. I feel great, actually," Williams said at the start of training camp. "I don't feel like a 37-year-old. Not sure what they supposed to feel like, but I feel a little younger."

"I love to compete. When I'm in that mode, with my cleats on the grass, to me, I feel like a rookie, just because of how I approach it and how I just love to play."

"I would love to make it to that special group," he shared. "But if it's just not in my cards, it's not in my cards. But I'm going to do everything physically possible. I'm going to stay engaged, as you see, my first time here doing OTAs or even being at the offseason program in probably 10 years.

"So it's one of the things where I'm going to do everything possible to play as long and put a good product of football out there, and then, when it's not going my way, then I know.

"But I could play until I'm 41, you know, who knows? But that is a goal of mine. I'm definitely not going to retire with something left on the table."
