Jamaal Williams wasn't used much by the Lions on passing downs last year (just 16 targets in 17 games), but that's a reversal of his early-career usage with the Packers. He has ample experience in pass protection and might be more of an all-around RB than you'd be led to believe. pic.twitter.com/JC4pkdkDT2

It’s easy to look at Jamaal Williams’ 2022 rushing production — 1,066 yards on the ground and a league-leading 17 touchdown runs — and assume he’s a one-dimensional running back. And his receiving numbers would support that; he was targeted with fewer passes (16) than games he played (17). You’d even be forgiven for looking at his listed size of 6-foot-flat and 224 pounds and assume he’s just a big bruiser. But look a little deeper and you’ll see that the New Orleans Saints may have landed a more-complete, all-around player than initially expected.
