In the fifth round of April's NFL draft, the Los Angeles Rams selected a running back for the second year in a row. Joining a room that consists of Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson, and Jake Funk will be newcomer Kyren Williams. Williams, out of Notre Dame, looks to make a big impact right away, as he expressed to Rams GM Les Snead and coach McVay immediately after being selected:
Williams was an extremely valuable piece to the Notre Dame offense in the past two seasons, as the team captain rushed for over 1,000 yards in both 2020 and 2021, as well as reeling in a total of 77 passes over those two seasons.
