Rookie RB Keiland Williams is making a strong push in trying to make the Washington Redskins
24-year old undrafted RB Keiland Williams out of LSU has been catching the eyes of the Redskins’ coaching staff with his fine play this pre-season. Williams has carried the ball 17 times for 68 yards (4.0 ypc) and he has caught 5 passes for 68 yards (13.6 avg) so far this pre-season. He has also returned 3 kickoffs for 71 yards (23.7 avg) so far in the pre-season. Head Coach Mike Shanahan prides himself in the fact that he can plug almost anyone (or so it has seemed) in at RB and they excel in his offense due to the zone blocking scheme. Could Williams be one of the next obscure running backs to excel under Shanahan? Only time will tell. But, first things first, Williams needs to win a spot on the roster.
