Rams RB Kyren Williams among hardest NFL runners to bring down

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren WIlliams broke out over the past two seasons and became one of the best at his position. In 28 games since 2023, Williams rushed for 2,443 yards and 26 touchdown and caught 66 receptions for 388 yards and six touchdowns.

Williams also proved to be one of the best tackle-breakers in the league this past season. While he stands at just 5-foot-9 and 202 pounds, Williams finished top-10 in broken tackles and missed tackles forced, according to Pro Football Focus. He tied for ninth in broken tackles with nine and finished eighth with 50 missed tackles forced.

While Williams wasn't at the peak of either category, he was one of only nine running backs to make the top-10 in both lists alongside Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, Josh Jacobs, Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, James Conner, Kenneth Walker III and Najee Harris.

The Rams offense goes through quarterback Matthew Stafford, but Williams is a huge part of the ground game. The Rams ran the ball 450, which was dead-center in the NFL and tied with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans for 16th in the league.

Williams and the Rams will reportedly talk about a contract extensions this offseason. For now, though, he and the team will look to defend their NFC West crown.
