Kyren Williams has had back-to-back breakout seasons for the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed for 1,000 yards for a second consecutive year and had a career-best 14 rushing scores. He could also sign an extension before the 2025 season begins.
Based on his 2024 tape, the Rams might want to keep him around for the long haul. Not only was Williams one of the hardest running backs to bring down this past season, but he was almost one of the best running backs at converting first downs and scoring touchdowns.
Almost 27% of Williams rushing attempts resulted in either a first down or a touchdown, according to the 33rd Team. That ranked sixth among all running backs this past season, only behind Derrick Henry, James Conner, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, and Bijan Robinson.
