Joe Williams’ 2018 preseason debut was rather uneventful. In his defense, the offensive line play once he got in the game was less than optimal. What I saw was a running back thinking too much behind the line of scrimmage. There were also a few carries where he was almost blatantly slowing down just to make sure he had the ball, given his previous fumble issues.
Williams has been a bit of an enigma since being drafted in the third round of the 2017 draft. Initially he was touted as the second coming of Frank Gore, only younger and faster.
