Missing an entire season isn’t good for draft stock, but Williams is addressing that issue head on. And at least one team listened to Williams’ message.

In 2014, Williams ran the ball 211 times for 1,190 yards and 12 TDs. He also caught 11 passes for 65 yards and 2 TDs. The Redskins’ draft profile compares him to Seahawks rookie RB Thomas Rawls, and he is expected to be drafted in the fifth or sixth round.
Despite being injured before the 2015 season even began, his team still voted him as a team captain for the Razorbacks.
