With the 164th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected running back Kyren Williams out of Notre Dame. Williams is a St. Louis native and a lifelong Rams fan who has long looked up to Steven Jackson.
Williams entered his 2021 season as one of the top running back draft prospects in the nation, but he didn’t quite have the year expected of him and he tested poorly at the NFL Scouting Combine. Williams is 5’9, 194 lbs, and his 28.6” arms are the shortest of any running back in this class, as his his sub-70” wingspan.
