Jamaal Williams was known for his ball security when he was rolling up yards on his way to becoming BYU’s all-time leading rusher.

That ability to protect the ball translated over to the NFL in his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers.

In his first pro season, Williams never lost a fumble in 178 touches, according to Zach Kruse of Packers Wire.
