Kyren Williams had a brutal athletic testing period, but no one expected it to be great. On the other hand, no one thought it was going to be that bad either. Running a 40 in the 23rd percentile for a running back while also being in the 7th percentile for weight (per MockDraftable) is not going to win you very many fans. He’s coming off back-to-back 1000-yard seasons and is among the best pass-protecting backs in the class. Add in the fact he has 77 catches over the past two seasons, and you have perhaps the most complete back in this year’s group.
