The Patriots are seemingly in need of a young running back, and the Bills just happened to release one Saturday.
So are the Pats and Karlos Williams a good match?
Possibly.
Listed at 230 pounds, Williams is a powerful back with good speed, as evidenced by his 4.48 40 yard dash time at the 2015 NFL combine. He is a bit of an upright runner, but he possesses rare athleticism at his size.
Based on a highly impressive rookie season in which Williams averaged 5.6 yards per carry and scored nine touchdowns, Williams is almost certain to be claimed off waivers.
