Williams likely heading to NFL after season

FAYETTEVILLE — Jonathan Williams has consistently earned the praise of teammates and coaches over the years for his selfless nature.

The Arkansas running back put on his best display of that trait on Thursday while speaking publicly for the first time since suffering a left foot injury that's expected to keep him out for the entire season — and lead to his likely departure for the NFL.

Williams, who led the Razorbacks with 1,190 yards rushing last season, was injured during a scrimmage almost two weeks ago — an injury that led to surgery to insert two screws to help ligaments heal.
