This power runner is an ideal fit for a pro-style offense that relies on physical downhill running and play-action complement.
He can immediately contribute as a short-yardage and goal-line specialist, with the ceiling to develop into a reliable early-down back in a two-back system.
His value would be significantly diminished in a pass-heavy Air Raid or spread offense that prioritizes speed and receiving skills from the running back position.
Williams's size and downhill running style make him a valuable asset in schemes that prioritize toughness and ball control, rather than flashy speed.
Relative Athletic Score (Kent Lee Platte) benchmarks combine/pro-day numbers against every measured prospect at the position since 1987. 10.00 is elite; 5.00 is average.
