completely different rusher than evens (last years freshman). he tied the freshman td record already (was set last year as well, williams is 1 behind in rushing, but had 1 rec td unlike evans). evens just ran over people, williams can push the pile, or break your ankles in the open field. doesnt have elite top end speed for a rb though. williams was 13th in the country in rushing coming into the game (113ish ypg average before the 179 last night). he may get the freshman single game record if they let him loose for 60 an entire 60 mins.

he has, what, 6 100 yard games already (record was 4 at vt, set last year by evans, and his 1st was nov 6th). it took evans 287 carries to get to 11 tds and 1265 yards last years. williams has 189 carries for 1109 and 10tds. thats good for #3 in rushing yards atm on a similar # carries to those that havent played this week (other than ingram and ryan mathews)

oh in this the 2/3 point of the season, and he is breaking records with 4-5 games left (against alteast 2 cream puffs in uva and maryland, and a unpredictable ncstate).

he is better than evens overall, even though imo he doesnt fit the VTs mold for a rb as much as evens did last year. i would love to draft williams in 2 years as a backup to stewie.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
