Declares for draft
Williams announced Sunday via his personal Twitter account that he will declare for the 2021 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
When he opted out of the 2020 season in October, Williams initially indicated that he planned to rejoin the Jayhawks for workouts in January. After taking the past month and a half to weigh his future, Williams apparently had a change of heart and will now get his professional career off the ground. Williams' speed should make him an appealing NFL prospect, but his size (5-foot-10, 170 pounds) could present some concerns for general managers about his durability.

The versatile back is also excels pass-catching with 27 catches for 214 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets, his second straight season with 27+ catches. With former teammates Khalil Herbert headed to Virginia Tech and Dominic Williams to Northern Iowa, Williams will receive the bulk of the carries and has a great shot at his third straight 1,000 yard season.
