Biography
NFL CAREER – Signed by the Saints as an unrestricted free agent from Detroit in 2023, Williams is a talented runner who had a breakout season in 2022 as he led the National Football League and set a Lions single-season franchise record for rushing touchdowns with 17. Through 17 games with nine starts for Detroit, Williams added on 262 attempts for 1,066 rushing yards and 12 receptions for 73 yards, producing the first 1,000 yard rushing season of his career and the first for a Lion since 2013. The former BYU star's talent came consistently all over the field, as well as in short bursts, as ten of his rushing touchdowns in 2022 came from exactly one yard out, tied for third-most in NFL history. In 2021, Williams ranked fifth among all NFL running backs with 27.5% of his rushes resulting in first downs. Also a sound ballcarrier, he went 752 career touches before fumbling the ball and became the league's first active running back to reach 600 carries before fumbling. Since being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the fourth round (134th overall) of the 2017 NFL Draft, Williams has played in 90 games with 40 starts, totaling 915 attempts for 2652 yards and 30 touchdowns, while adding on 160 receptions for 1191 yards and eight touchdowns against only four fumbles
