8. Jamaal Williams

We heard all offseason about how Jamaal Williams had slimmed down and was ready to make a bigger impact this year. More importantly, we’ve been seeing it since Week 1. Williams added a lot of muscle definition over the offseason and appears more explosive with the rock in his hands. His PFF grade of 67.5 actually ranks higher than his running mate Aaron Jones. Williams has been good in the run game and as a pass protector, and has made great strides as a receiver. What else can you ask for from a change of pace back?
