How does the Saints backfield stack up against the rest of the NFL?

Heading into the 2023 offseason, running back was high on the priority list for the New Orleans Saints. The Saints relied heavily on Alvin Kamara and an aging Mark Ingram to carry the offense with a lackluster passing attack in 2022. After an off year for both backs, it was important for the Saints to get younger and better at the position, and they did just that.

They kicked off free agency by signing Jamal Williams who led the NFL in rushing TDs in 2022. Williams ran for 1,066 yards on a 4.1 average behind 17 touchdowns last season.
