Williams pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance Monday. A judge sentenced Williams to deferred adjudication, plus fined the former Jacksonville Jaguar $200.

District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Donna Hawkins told The Associated Press that Williams, 25, will face random drug testing in Harris County. According to Hawkins, Williams will not have a felony conviction on his record if he successfully completes probation in the case she said involved cocaine.

Williams was arrested in April when he allegedly refused to leave a bar. An off-duty police officer used a Taser on Williams.

Williams, a first-round draft pick by the Jaguars out of Washington in 2004, caught 37 passes for 364 yards and three touchdowns for Jacksonville last season. He hasn't yet signed with a team for the 2009 season.
