Overview

  • Williams is set to compete for Dallas’s feature back role after signing a one-year, $3 million contract on March 10.
  • Critics note Williams averaged just 3.6 yards per carry in 2023 and 3.7 in 2024 as doubts linger over his post-injury explosiveness.
  • Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton forecasted a potential career year despite Williams’s efficiency dip in Denver.
  • Dallas bolstered its ground attack by adding veteran Miles Sanders and drafting two rookie backs to support a rushing unit that ranked 30th last season.
  • Quarterback Dak Prescott said he is “healthy as I’ll be,” offering a stable backdrop for the offense going into training camp.
