Running back: Javonte Williams, UNC

Javonte Williams is an absolute baller. I mean my god, he does it all. His contact balance is Marshawn Lynch-esque. His field vision is excellent. His lateral agility is exceptional. He can block with the best of them.

More than anything, when you watch his game you can’t help but think, now that is a Seahawks running back. It’s natural. Bruiser through and through who has the agility and quickness to make the outside cuts.

He can block for Russell Wilson and do so consistently. He hasn’t been utilized to the fullest in pass-catching due to another great running back at UNC taking those snaps. However, he has soft hands and plays the catch well.

Seriously, watch the YouTube video above. If my description of the player didn’t excite you, the video will drop your jaw. If Seattle gets lucky and Williams drops to the end of round two, there should be very little debate on who they take. Javonte Williams is a game-changer, through and through.
