Kyren Williams was literally playing in football games last season before anyone outside of the organization (and possibly inside) had any idea what was in store for his 2023 campaign. Not only did the Rams go into the season with Cam Akers as the starting running back, there wasn’t any buzz about Williams being “too good to contain” when L.A. decided to trade Akers to the Vikings after Week 1 for a bag of footballs.
In his first start, Williams gained 100 yards and scored two touchdowns. In his third start, he rushed for 103 yard sand scored two touchdowns.
