Name: Pooka Williams Position: Running Back College: Kansas Height: 5’9 ½” Weight: 175 lbs Overall Rank: No. 296 overall Position Rank: RB23 Strengths: A Louisiana prep-standout, Williams has been a bright spot on the field in a bad Kansas program. From a pure speed perspective, he’s one of the fastest backs in the class, clocking in from the mid-to-high 4.3s in the 40-yard dash at the Kansas Pro Day. Of course, straight line workout speed is nice, but Williams also shows impressive play speed and immediate burst as a runner. He wastes no time putting the pedal to the metal and can hit top gear before linebackers blink. Williams has a bulldog’s attitude and isn’t afraid of contact as a runner. Get Williams working laterally pre- and post-snap and he’s simply tough to catch up with. He’ll make his money in the NFL on jet motions, the screen game, and homerun potential as a returner. Teams in need of a do-a-little-bit-of-everything player will be enticed by Williams’ playmaking ability from a variety of roles.
