2021 NFL Draft Profile: RB Javonte Williams

2021 NFL Draft Profile: RB Javonte Williams

The NFL is moving towards needing their running backs to occupy multiple roles in an offense. Not only do these players need to have solid vision in-between the tackles and the athletic traits to take advantage of the openings they find, but they also need to be receiving weapons out of the backfield.

Williams fits exactly what the NFL is looking for, and he’s going to make an immediate impact as soon as he steps onto the field. Williams has the skillset to contribute right away with a perfect blend of vision, contact balance, power, and receiving ability.

At North Carolina, Williams dominated the competition this past season. He put up 1,140 rushing yards, averaging 7.3 yards per attempt and 19 touchdowns on the ground. Additionally, Williams showed off his receiving chops by hauling in 25 receptions for 305 yards and another 3 touchdowns through the air. The production is evident – as is his overall talent – but what exactly does he bring to the table for an NFL team? Can he be a true fantasy football force?

These questions are answered here in our detailed scouting report for Javonte Williams:
