    from an old draft report

    …

    By Lance Zierlein
    NFL Analyst

    HEIGHT 5’ 9’’

    WEIGHT 194 lbs
    .
    Overview

    Fiery team leader and combative runner who leaves it all out on the field. Williams has been a worker bee with a willingness to do the heavy lifting on all three downs and has premium third-down talent both in blitz pickup and as a route-runner out of the backfield. The Patriots’ usage of James White, Dion Lewis and Brandon Bolden might be the blueprint for how to utilize Williams in the NFL.

    Strengths
    • Team captain.
    • Ready and willing to carry any workload asked.
    • Loose with wide, lateral slides to elude penetration.
    • Finds ways to wiggle out of trouble in tight quarters.
    • Runs with consistent pace.
    • Talented, well-rounded third-down option.
    • Experienced lining up and running routes from the slot.
    • Shifty to separate on option routes.
    • Rare understanding of protection schemes.
    • Scans for trouble and steps into the ring with grit and technique.
    Weaknesses
    • More quick than explosive.
    • Below-average burst as an outside runner.
    • More active than creative up to second level.
    • Unable to find sudden acceleration from his cuts.
    • Plenty tough but bounced around like a smaller back.
    • Lacks power to break tackles and move chains consistently.
    • Too many fumbles.
    • Average elusiveness in space after the catch.

    yeah.  i don’t know much about ekeler.  haven’t seen him too much.  but if kyren williams can replicate him in terms of production.  around 12oo-1300 yards from scrimmage.   and then you get a second running back who can give him sufficient rest without too much loss in production.  that would be ideal for me.
