02Scheme fit
Ideal system

Teams that utilize an inside-zone heavy power run game with a focus on pass protection and short-yardage conversions will find Williams to be a valuable asset.

Power backGoal-line backThird-down protector
Best role

Immediate contributor in short-yardage and goal-line situations, eventually developing into a reliable rotational back on all three downs.

Wrong fit

An Air Raid or pass-heavy spread offense where his receiving limitations would be exposed and his power running undervalued.

Williams's rugged downhill running and reliable pass-blocking make him a scheme-specific but impactful player for a power run team.
