'19 MO RB Kyren Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

He’s entering LeSean McCoy territory

Watched the first 5+ minutes and he never got tackled (except on one int. return). Good lord he chewed up some yards.

Yeah and his highlight tape isn't front-loaded, like so many others. There's a run at the 9 minute mark that was phenomenal. He has some really good defensive hits/ints and his ability to shed tackles is fantastic.

I think he's really good in short space and his very good acceleration. I think he breaks into the two deep. I know it's conjecture but he looks incredibly well-rounded. Hopefully his pass protection is on point.

His numerous run up the middle and finds the gap so fast is amazing.

I mean, it's very possible Kyren is criminally underrated by the services. Kid has some 5 star quality tape and won state titles at the second biggest division in Missouri.

Yep. Watch the run at 8:47, it should've been in the first minute.

 

[Luckylucci]

I certainly think so, we’ll see. I think he’ll have some wow moments in practice.

One of two things.

1. This kid is vastly underrated and is an absolute stud.

2. He plays terrible competition.

The big Catholic schools in STL are pretty decent football, but it's not really a recruiting hotbed, so maybe he didn't get the notice he might have in some other places?
For what it's worth, he won offensive player of the year in metro St. Louis from the Post-Dispatch (several years back Jonathan Bonner won the same award on defense). Good profile on him here.

I'm looking forward to seeing this kid play.

Kid looks like he's really enjoyed the dining options Notre Dame has to offer

Is #23 Eric Cartman?

 

[BeatSC]

Poor kid, he’s no bigger than a Kelly. Good luck tackling this bowling ball. Reminds me of Maurice Drew.

Good comparison. Going to be tough to bring down. Arm tackles won’t cut it with that plow truck

As a Colts fan, MJD is one of the only division guys I ever feared... Dude was so so good. Too bad he played on a joke franchise.

Winter S&C is all about strength and mass. Most players drop weight or streamline through Fall Camp

One week before we get to start quoting Koonja from the beginning of this thread. Looking for some exciting freshman moments from Kyren.

So you are expecting a kid that is 5'6" and 175 pounds is going to play?

can't tell if you're being sarcastic.. but yeah he's going to play

Never expect the unexpected.

Yes sarcasm. Unless you think I truly believe that he is 5'6" and 175 pounds.

Questionable thread bump on the heels of the Austin obituary.

The old heart having trouble handling it? lol

 

[EddytoNow]

I'm not suggesting Kyren will reach the same level of production, but Barry Sanders was 5'8" and 200 lbs.

He's being sarcastic. Koon was basically pounding the table saying Kyren was too small. Fast forward to now, Kyren is ready to play and will probably have his red shirt opportunity burned before we hit October.

 

[IrishFaninTX]

Dude is a bowling ball. Can't wait to watch him roll over people!

 

[Who'saWildManNow]

I’m curious to see if Kyren gets involved at all in the coming weeks.

Well he returns kicks and was thrown a pass that was dropped this past game.


With Jafar out, he'll get reps.
