Ex-Gophers tight end Maxx Williams is having a breakout season for the 4-0 Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have two pretty good running quarterbacks on a roster that's surprising the football world as the NFL's last undefeated team.

Everyone knows about the first one. MVP front-runner Kyler Murray's speed and pitter-patter feet are, as Vikings co-defensive coordinator Andre Patterson put it, "like a video game."

No one outside of Waconia, Minn., knows about the second. Probably because he's morphed into one of Pro Football Focus' most beloved NFL tight ends. His name is Maxx Williams, a seventh-year player, ex-Gopher and former 1,500-yards-a-season rusher as Waconia High's signal-caller back in the day.
