METAIRIE, La. -- Jonathan Williams was coming perilously close to becoming a "whatever happened to ..." story.
And to be honest, his career still hasn't really gotten past the line of scrimmage yet -- with only 94 career rushing yards in two seasons, all of them as a rookie with the Buffalo Bills in 2016.
But the New Orleans Saints' powerful, 223-pound running back says he has always prided himself on being the type of runner who keeps his legs churning after contact.
So that's what he did after a foot injury wiped out his promising senior season at Arkansas in 2015, when he had expectations of emerging as a first- or second-round draft pick.
