Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams is making a name for himself as he heads into the 2024 NFL season. After a breakout performance last year, he has earned a spot on the NFL’s top 100 players list, coming in at No. 78.

Williams’ rise has not gone unnoticed, with top defenders acknowledging his skills. Patrick Queen, an All-Pro linebacker, highlighted Williams as one of the toughest running backs to face last season.

Last year, Williams rushed for 1,144 yards, ranking third in the league, and his 12 rushing touchdowns tied him for fifth among all running backs. Remarkably, he achieved this while missing five games, making him the first player in NFL history to finish in the top three in rushing yards under such circumstances.

Williams is the first Rams running back since Todd Gurley to surpass 1,000 rushing yards in a season, solidifying his status as a key player for the team. As the Rams prepare for the upcoming season, Williams will be a focal point in their offensive strategy.
