The Detroit Lions are adding running back Jamaal Williams to their backfield on a reported 2-year deal.
Spending the first four years in Green Bay operating as a No. 2 back for the Packers and working in tandem with Aaron Jones, Williams proved to be the perfect complement back. Talented enough to spot start and carry the load (he has started 20 of his 60 NFL games played), Williams is a very valuable option as he is incredibly reliable as a runner, pass catcher, and pass blocker. Williams isn’t a game-altering back like D’Andre Swift—he only has two 100+ yards rushing games—but his ability to consistently produce in multiple areas on the field is a huge asset.
