Overview
Williams has been a backup running back for his whole career at LSU and never managed to gain more than 500 yards in a single season. He shows better physical traits for the running back position than his teammate, Charles Scott, but does not get nearly as many touches. His speed, quickness, agility and elusiveness translate to more success at the NFL level but will be a bit of a gamble in that he has yet to show it on a consistent basis. Williams will need a lot of work on route running and blocking techniques but he does have good tools to work with.
Analysis
Weaknesses
Williams has limited exposure and never carried the load in college. Never had a highly-productive season. At this time, we question his route running skills and overall comfort in the passing game. Can be caught dancing too much at times resulting in negative plays.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
