'19 MO RB Kyren Williams (Notre Dame Signee)

[ndfi78]

One more year 23!
Please!

Hard disagree. As much as I love having Williams playing for ND, he needs to go pro. His stock won't be helped enough to validate staying and RB's need to get into the league as soon as possible.

 

[Some Irish Bloke]

I was just coming to say the same thing.


There will never be another Barry Sanders, but sometimes when I squint, I see a part of him when Kyren is running.

The way he sets up defenders for the juke, the way guys just slide off of him, and the incredible patience and balance.

I hope to God I'm wrong, but he gone...

He is such a talented back. Probably the best back in the Brian Kelly Era. Such an impressive player and young man. I never saw him coming forward as a freshman but woah how impressive he is. Even with a below average offensive line.

He reminds me of a not as athletic Zeke.

Put the team on his back, reminded me of Theo in 2012.

From Monday's presser:

“He plays with such an energy and an edge that it’s hard not to pass that on to the entire group. Boy, I don’t know, maybe Theo Riddick had a similar kind of vibe to him. Theo played like that. he played physical, and it kind of rubbed off on the group. That’s the guy that he kind of reminds me of.”

If you follow him on twitter, which I didn't until now, he is offering four free tickets to the game this weekend if you get signed up for some wing joint in south bend i think?

Funny you say that, I could have sworn I heard Tirico call him Barry Williams more than once on Saturday.

I would say a smaller Zeke not less athletic. Good comp though, they're both from St Louis and have pretty similar running styles.

Maybe not less athletic, but Zeke definitely is faster than Kyren

He was the most athletic Brady.

 

[GUknights75]

So now I'm kind of thinking Austin Ekeler as a NFL comp. #Pound4pound

(Notre Dame Man)?

Another great game by Kyren. I feel so bad for him though. The OL and scheme cost him so much the first half of the season, I can’t imagine the type of numbers he would have if they were even average.

 

[Valpodoc85]

He will make bank. Film don’t lie and he has that. Kid plays ball. Can’t overcome come the size/speed issue but will pull a paycheck above his measurables

 

[ulukinatme]

I think any Scout worth his salt will know that the OL held him back through half the season. He's putting together some serious highlight film material right now.

(Notre Dame Man)?

He's certainly lived up to Captain status. I would say yes.

A game like today is what keeps him solidy in the mid-round range. That long TD might even get him drafted in the 3rd. Dang, what a warrior

I think going into the day he was a day 2 pick, late 2nd to mid 3rd. That 91 yard TD run showing the grit, toughness. Short area quickness and long speed might even get him drafted early in the 2nd round.

McShay had Kyron ranked 32-34 overall before the season began. Mel Kiper had him as the 3rd best draft eligible RB for weeks, but dropped him to #5 this past week. I have feeling Kyron will move back up though.

Reesus knows the truth.

 

[T-Boone]

He does damn good post game interviews. I can see him being a coach if the NFL career doesn't last long.

 

[irishtrain]

Man its really odd this guy is not mentioned in Heisman talk-says a lot about what the award has degenerated into

He's on pace for maybe 1400-1500 yards from scrimmage and ~15 TDs. Those are nowhere near Heisman numbers in this era.

 

[IRISHMAN]

KW had a heck of a game but man when he went out of the game and straight into the medical tent i thought for sure his season was over.

 

[Luckylucci]

Don’t let Loy’s revisionist history fool you. Denson was the lead recruiter here. 247 has it listed as such and Kyren always said as much. Very bizarre to act like the then QB coach should get credit for this recruiting win.

I did find that strange

Is it just me or does he run a little like Golden?

Still see it three years later…

#23 has been good to me as favorite athletes.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Does current #22 Diggs switch over to #23 next year?

[Trait Expectations]

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.

One of my favs, ha ha.

 

[zelezo vlk]

Well he's not wrong that Navy would be happy with Kyren...everything else though is wrong.
