New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams reported for training camp on Tuesday after signing a massive contract extension, and he's ready to prove that the Jets will get their money's worth.

"I haven't scratched the surface on what I can do," Williams said, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.

Williams did not participate in New York's offseason workout program due to his contract status. He said he never doubted a deal would get done, and being away from the team was "hard," but he took his personal training "to a whole new level," according to Cimini.

The 25-year-old agreed to a four-year, $96-million contract extension last week, making him the second-highest-paid defensive tackle in the league behind Aaron Donald, according to Spotrac.

Williams had a breakout season in 2022, recording 12 sacks and 12 tackles for loss, along with 55 tackles. He was awarded a first-team All-Pro selection and received his first Pro Bowl nomination.

The Alabama product has 27.5 sacks and 191 tackles in 57 career games.
