Two weeks into his second NFL season, the player praised for his ability to master concepts quickly has grabbed a hold of the Rams’ starting running back job.
THOUSAND OAKS — During the training camp of his rookie year, Kyren Williams wasn’t able to take the field. The Rams running back had undergone surgery in June to repair a broken foot and was limited to rehab work.
“I tried to keep up as much as possible when I was injured off the field,” Williams said. “That wasn’t really a problem for me. It was more mental, like, how was I able to find myself? That was my biggest part. Keeping up with this stuff, with what I love, that’s not hard.” Success is never guaranteed in the NFL, even for someone coming out of a school like Notre Dame. Especially when injuries befall you early in your career. After the foot surgery, Williams suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 last season. The injury required another operation, and he missed the next eight weeks.
“I think it’s just in me. I love football. I love it to its core, I love everything about it,” Williams said. “I love what it creates you, how it makes you and everything you become because of it. So for me, just every day, chasing improvement and trying to find how I can be better for myself, literally. So if that’s being in the film room watching film for two hours, I’ll go do that. It doesn’t matter to me because there’s not much more that I want than this football stuff.
