Karlos Williams had a good rookie season with the Buffalo Bills in 2015. The former fifth round draft pick was a football fantasy sensation, scoring nine touchdowns (seven rushing and two receiving) while rushing for 517 yards on 93 carries.
However, Williams did himself no favors in the off-season. He reported to camp overweight and blamed it on his girlfriend being pregnant. Then proceeded to violate the NFL’s substance abuse policy and was suspended for the first four games in 2016.
