Pro Football Focus ranks Javonte Williams and Michael Carter in top 4 of RBs in NFL Draft

Posted Mar 2, 2021
Two UNC football stars are about to star in the NFL. Pro Football Focus has Michael Carter and Javonte Williams ranked in their top-four running backs in the 2021 NFL draft. Williams is a riser, according to PFF, and could creep close to be the top running back taken overall. Williams has gone from middle-round draft pick to an early day 2, at worst. (Keeping It Heel)
