DeAngelo Williams Acclimating Himself To Passing Game
DeAngelo WilliamsDuring the course of this season, I could not help but to notice how many similarities I suddenly find between the running styles of DeAngelo Williams and Le’Veon Bell. Williams, of course, is in his 10th season, while Bell is in just his third, but I have watched every snap of Bell’s career, so his style has stuck out to me more in recent years.
Both backs show tremendous patience in the backfield, and have the forethought to set up their blockers while reading the defense and knowing how to force themselves into taking the wrong hole. It was a beautiful thing to watch Bell run, but it’s hard to argue that watching Williams run has been much different.
