How former BYU football star Jamaal Williams fits into the Green Bay backfield

On Saturday, April 29, former BYU football star Jamaal Williams was drafted by the Green Bay Packers. Now that he’s heading to Lambeau Field, how exactly does the former Cougar fit into the Packers’ backfield?

Let’s take a look.

Entering the NFL Draft, Green Bay had just three running backs on the roster. After letting Eddie Lacy depart to the Seattle Seahawks, the Packers had Ty Montgomery, Don Jackson and Christine Michael.

Ty Montgomery: 77 carries, 457 yards, 3 TD; 44 receptions, 348 yards

Christine Michael: 148 carries, 583 yards, 7 TD; 22 receptions, 107 yards, 1 TD

Don Jackson: 10 carries, 32 yards

Montgomery is by far the most talented of the three.
