DLF: Williams is a speedy 210-pound back who is tough to tackle in the open field. He’s been floating under the radar due to the sheer quantity of talented running backs in this draft class. He rushed for over 100-yards in six of the nine games he played in last season, including a 332-yard performance against UCLA. He will be a trendy mid-round option in rookie drafts this year.
NFL Analysis: Williams might be one of the most intriguing prospects in this draft. His story is a strange one (including being kicked off a team for theft and briefly "retiring" as he dealt with personal grief), but once he returned to football in 2016 he left it all on the field, amassing over 1,300 yards and 10 touchdowns in seven games. Desptie a smaller frame, Williams fights through contact, keeps his leg churning, and possesses excellent balance to pick up yards after contact. He's also an impressive athlete with breakaway speed and quick feet that allow him to create on his own. His draft slotting could come down to how teams view his red flags, though, as he in addition to the concerns listed above he lost six fumbles on 289 attempts at Utah and struggles in the passing game. If he falls deeper into the draft and lands on a good team, Williams could have immediate fantasy value, even in redraft leagues.
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The speedy Williams has some game-breaking ability and Kyle Shanahan knows how to get his speed backs in space. He'll be good for 8-10 touches/game if he can cut down the fumbles. --Mark Dulgerian
