9 Predictions For NFL Season: Javonte Williams is top rookie back
Posted Sep 9, 2021
Javonte Williams is going to be the straw that stirs the drink in Denver's backfield. A steal of a draft pick in Round 2, Williams is a blend of everything you want in a back. He was a tackle-breaking machine at UNC. Not to mention, he ranked as PFF's No. 1 inside zone/power runner in college football last fall, so Denver's offense will fit him like a glove.
