Even praised for his pass protection in college. He lacked top end speed for a guy his size, and he did not have a lot of "shake" or "juke" moves. But he is the type of RB who could be very productive behind a good line and was versitile enough to make a good back up or third down back.
But the problem here was that he could not stray healthy. He was injured in both of the previous pre-seasons. And now I just saw that he will not play against Washington.
Even though we brought in Captain America I still felt like Williams had a good chance of making the roster, but he was clearly on the bubble and I am pretty sure missing the Washington game will pop that bubble.
I hope Evans can take over the Gio role, we need a great 3rd down back to compliment Mixon. Perrine is not that guy nor is Patrick. I know Mixon my stay in more on 3rd down, but fresh legs and a great (not good) receiver on 3rd down is essential.
As for Williams, tes I agree he is in trouble.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
