Tyler Williams enters his fourth season with the Minnesota Vikings and third as vice president of player health and performance in 2025.

Introduced as the executive director of player health and performance in 2022, he helped the Vikings achieve a 34-17 (.667) regular-season record over the past three seasons (2022-24), including a 14-3 mark and playoff appearance in 2024, the second-most wins in team history. The team's nine-game win streak from Week 9 to Week 17 tied the third-longest win streak in club history. In 2022, his first season in Minnesota, Williams was a key element in the Vikings winning the NFC North for the first time since 2017 and tying for the third-most wins (13) in a single season in team history.

Under Williams' leadership, Minnesota's training staff received a resounding stamp of approval when the NFL Players Association released the results of its "free agency report cards" for all 32 teams during the 2025 offseason. The Vikings training staff, which earned an "A", ranked second out of 32 teams, as the report cited "94% of Vikings players report that they receive enough one-on-one training treatment" and "the players feel that their training staff significantly contributes to their overall success."
