EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The Andre Williams on the field for the New York Giants on Friday night in their preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins barely resembled the running back that averaged less than three yards per carry last season. This Andre Williams was physically deflated, 12 pounds lighter and minus almost five inches off his waist.
Williams decided to reshape his body this offseason in an effort to save his floundering career. The early returns have been positive.
Williams ran for 41 yards on nine carries Friday in the preseason opener, which included runs of 16 and 12 yards.
