How has Williams looked so far?

[Proof]

I've seen reports / updates about mafah and blue, but I don't think I've seen much said about Williams. Has he been playing? Playing well? any insight fellas? Thanks

Not much has been said about Williams in TC but if they never mention his name I wouldn’t worry about it. They want him fresh and injury fee in September. He’s probably not in the evaluation focus like the younger guys.

Guys like Mafah and Blue NEED the most reps and I would even say be careful about any hype said about them in TC or in PS games. Glad to hear they are getting the reps and hoping it’s not just hype. Blue has had flashes but he also fumbled vs rams the scrimmage - his biggest weakness in college. And one of many reasons why he didn’t play much last yr.

It’s entirely possible one of those guys get cut. Not saying they will, but Williams will be the workhorse going into the season. But he will need help as any NFL back nowadays does.

Stay tuned. I don’t think our backups at the RB position is entirely settled.

This breaks it down comprehensively. You can close the thread now. There are no other answers that are relevant lol. Williams isn’t getting a lot of work. They’re intentionally keeping him fresh and focusing on the rest of the group

Some in media have speculated the same.

Just hoping he stays healthy all year

I wouldn't expect to hear much. They are going to likely bubble wrap him this TC.

That being said, I fear a regression with him this year.

Media I've heard have said he's looked good. They've basically said the whole position has looked good. But they also aren't being tackled.

My general rule of thumb with training camp and pre-season reports from the team and the media that covers it…don’t buy everything they are selling. Wait and see what the regular season shows us.

Doesn’t mean none of it is true. It’s more like remembering that not ALL of it is true. This is the time of year when coaches and especially Jerry talk more about what they want to be true than what is 100% true. Sometimes the media buys into the hype too.

As the great Darrell Royal once said about players with a lot of potential: “Potential just means they ain’t done it yet.”
