I suspect Williams will have about the same NFL success as Prentice has had. Town team players you know.

Definitely looks to be a 1st round pick but the LT/Holmes comparison is a bit strong. Reminds me a lot of Mike Cloud......Just kidding actually reminds me Tiki Barber...Very good speed, very quick and runs harder than his size would indicate. They don't use him that much in the passing game so I really don't know if he is anywhere near the pass catcher of Tiki however. |

It's almost as much of a crapshoot as the QB position, seems like. At the very least, a ton of potentially successful NFL backs probably slip through the cracks like Holmes almost did. |

Kiper had him right up there with Benson, Caddy, and Brown in the 2005 draft, and listed him as the #5 overall player and top running back for 2006. He is the personification of "all-purpose back." He is an amazing runner, his vision and balance are incredible beyond the telling of it, he has a combination of speed and strength (and SPEED... and STRENGTH) that is simply indescribable... in short, he's okay. :D In addition, Memphis lost 27 seniors, including the best QB in school history, the top WR, and four starting offensive linemen. On the first series of the season, junior QB Patrick Byrne went down for the year. In the third game, redshirt freshman QB Will Hudgens went down for the year. True freshman Billy Barefield didn't cut it, and with WR-turned-QB Mo Avery starting in the 35-20 win over Houston, Memphis has started 5 different QBs in 7 games, stretching back to the GMAC Bowl. Memphis is also missing upwards of 10 other starters, most of them long-term. Despite this, he's carried the whole team on his back, even with the target everyone has had on him from the national attention and Heisman hype. Oh, and not to overload you with "he's so great," but he really is, off the field, as well. He's a good student and an exceptionally great representative of the school and the city. |

Especially when the single most important trait a RB needs to possess for a RB to have success at the NFL is a good O Line in front of him and OC on the sideline. It is only the extremely rare back like a Barry Sanders, Walter Payton type that can overcome that key ingredient. |

Lead the nation in rushing? Check.
Have four 200+ yard games? Check. Climb the all-time rushing leader charts? Check. Rapidly approach the career all-purpose yardage record? Check. Do all this with four different starting QBs in the span of six games? Check. Quote:
