When the Kansas City Chiefs turned the corner from Kareem Hunt to Damien Williams last December as their lead running back, the amount of statistical production largely remained on point from the sophomore sensation to the former Dolphins back. For Williams, it was a sensational ascent to the top of the depth chart and he made the most of the opportunity with the league’s most dynamic offense.
Coming into his second season with the team. the Chiefs aren’t even interested in having a competition for the starting spot. Williams has been gifted the starting role by Chiefs coaches, a starter already christened as such by Andy Reid in media sessions.
