Williams is a fine, well-rounded RB. The Bengals just have to use him more.
In college, he caught 66 passes for 561 yards. 27 of those passes were in his final year.
In very limited snaps last year, he rushed 26 times for 157 yards for an average of 6.0 YPC.
He also added 5 receptions for 30 yards on 5 targets.
I agree it's a lowkey need right now but it still becomes more of an issue if you lose Geo from the depth chart. They'd want a 4th & 5th RB for camp and I think they carry 4 RBs, right? I'd prefer one of them be a late round guy they see something in over both being UDFAs.
You seem to like Williams a lot but I think Williams is just a guy otherwise he would have had more usage. The opportunity was there. You looked up his stats so I'm sure you saw 1/3 of his yards came on one carry. He obviously earned the 6.0 YPC average, but it tells a different story when there are so few carries. And if college stats mattered, then Archie Griffin was the best RB in Bengals history. :)
