Javonte Williams making his case as a top RB in the 2021 NFL Draft

Posted Nov 22, 2020
The 2021 NFL Draft has some special players at running back like Clemson’s Travis Etienne and Alabama’s Najee Harris, but there could be a new RB1 emerging for this class — North Carolina's Javonte Williams. Williams has been fantastic in the 2020 season for the Tar Heels. His 18 touchdowns in eight games this season are the best in college football. (NFL Mocks)
