LSU running back Darrel Williams was one of the 14 players who signed with the Kansas City Chiefs before last weekend’s rookie minicamp began.
The reason you may not recognize Williams’ name despite him coming from one of the most prestigious programs in the nation is just that—coming from such a program meant there were two rather talented backs ahead of him, Leonard Fournette and Derrius Guice.
But that didn’t stop NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein from giving Williams a fifth-round grade, calling him “a well-built running back with NFL size and toughness and ability to handle short-yardage carries, as well as passes out of the backfield.
