Tim Fuller / USA TODAY Sports

The Detroit Lions have selected linebacker Antwione Williams out of Georgia Southern in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

With DeAndre Levy and Darius Slay already in the fold, Williams will likely compete for a backup spot, and may have to earn playing time on special teams.

Williams made 107 tackles at Georgia Southern last season.
