'19 MO RB Kyren Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

If I was kelly I would tell him to do something with you hair. He had to leave the field like 4 or 5 times due to his helmet fall off. He is our best option right now and we need you on the field.

 

[Chicago Domer]

Strapping on his helmet better would help too!!

 

[stpeteirish]

Just curious, how does he remind you of Procise?

Quick change of direction and acceleration.

Haven’t seen enough to really say more than “a little”

Or he could not be a curmudgeon and just suggest he adjust his chin strap...

he reminds me of darius walker

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

So this is the guy we're hoping to get at RB?

Seems really small, and doesn't do anything spectacularly well IMO. He has good hands, but short, light, and without great speed? This would be a good get for Navy, but for ND?

I would pass if I were the staff, and try to get some momentum elsewhere.

RIP

You definitely cannot say that lol. A little too close to that PSU fan that wrote the letter to Franklin....

Haha Koon!

That was my immediate reaction lol. Please Kelly, do nothing of the sort.

Ratchet strap that thin on then.

RIP

That aged well. Like so many others.

I hadn't though of it, but I can see that. Not breakaway speed, but good vision. We'll see how it plays out.

He could hand off or lateral to Tyree once he breaks into the backfield.

saw some neutral folks who compared him to Ray Rice in his build and running style

We could do worse. Just keep him away from elevators...

 

[calvegas04]

Could they start a Heisman campaign if he keeps this up?

Stealing my "Kyren 4 Heisman" comment from the gameday thread? I'm starting the movement!

 

[BabyIrish]

He’s the best back we’ve had since Julius Jones. His vision and quickness and cuts and power are off the charts.

He’s so good. Someone said on here Ray Rice and that’s an apt comparison. I think Kyren can be a longtime pro despite no breakaway speed.

Did we ever get a 40 on KW?

 

[irishff1014]

It's nice to have above average players.

Kyren reminds me a little bit of Clyde Edwards-Helaire

I can see that. Clyde I believe has better long speed though. I stick with my original comparison earlier in the thread of Carnell cadillac williams

Love the extra effort all our running backs displayed today!! It was great to see that these guys showed patience, vision and got the extra yards when needed!

CEH way faster tho

 

[GATTACA!]

How was the staff unsure through camp who would be RB1?

Karen seems head and shoulders ahead.

I don't remember CEH's speed in college, but you could be right. Kyren's low center of gravity, receiving skills, and not going down on first contact remind me of Clyde.

Also, I'm so happy we identified this kid early enough that we can enjoy him for a few years.

I agree. I still want to see how all of them look against a legit D though.

Well, they prob held off the announcement as long as possible to protect the team managers from her wrath.
