Kyren Williams

Injuries defined Williams' rookie year, with a broken foot wiping out most of his preseason and a Week 1 high-ankle sprain keeping him out until Week 10. When he returned, he didn't do much. He got 30-plus snaps in Weeks 11 and 12 and totaled 104 yards on 22 touches, but his playing time dwindled from there with Week 18 resulting in zero offensive snaps. Williams was a good runner and great receiver at Notre Dame, but at 5-9, 194, he is both short and skinny for his height, and his athletic testing just added more reason for doubt. A running back might overcome being "too small" if athletic enough, but Williams' 4.65-second 40, 32-inch vertical and 116-inch broad jump don't impress. His size-adjusted athleticism is poor to the point that it might negate his polished skill set. He enters camp as the potential backup to Cam Akers, competing for snaps with Sony Michel and fellow fringe prospects Zach Evans, Ronnie Rivers and Tiyon Evans. Read Past Outlooks
