Dick Harmon: Jamaal Williams shows Packers why he became BYU's all-time leading rusher

PROVO — This is what all-time leading rushers do.

Jamaal Williams might have been an NFL fourth-round draft pick last spring, but until somebody surpasses his record at BYU, he remains the school’s all-time leading rusher.

Now at Green Bay, Williams has received little playing time this season, but he delivered big time when needed Sunday in a 23-16 victory over the Chicago Bears.

Williams, who injured his knee earlier this season against Chicago, had been recovering as starter Ty Montgomery (ribs) was also recovering and No. 2 running back Aaron Jones became the guy.

But when both Montgomery and Jones got hurt, the Packers turned to Williams to carry the load as an every-down back.
