When he switched from safety to running back at Florida State, Karlos Williams was drawn to one running back in particular. The goggles. The neck collar. The “awkward” running style and “weird” look.
In Eric Dickerson, there was a lot to like.
“I’m a weird running back,” Williams said. “I’m very long and lanky. I like the way he ran the football. When he hit the open field, he was gone. He’s a home-run hitter and I feel like I can be a home-run hitter.”
Williams views Dickerson as one of the 10 best backs of all-time.
