The Los Angeles Rams are keeping one of the best running backs in the NFL for the long haul. The team has reached an agreement with former Notre Dame football star Kyren Williams on a three-year, $33 million extension that includes $23 million guaranteed, his agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus told ESPN.
While the deal for the ex-Irish runner came out of nowhere, the deal was a well-earned extension for Williams, who accounted for a league-high 43% of his team's offensive touches last season. That came after he put up similar numbers in 2023. Last season, Williams rushed for a career-high 1,299 yards and 14 touchdowns in addition to catching 34 passes and another 2 TDs.
