He just fits the offense that MM wants to run, on film he stood out in all those aspects pre draft.

Green bay will have to have a number 2 back behind Ty. Williams fits the bill it seems. I'am hoping they find a solid number 3 back as well.

i'm going to guess that it isn't long before Williams takes the #1 spot. he seems hungry for it, has a more well rounded set of skills than Ty, and knows the position better.

That would be best case scenario IMO... Williams takes #1 Rb spot and Ty becomes the #2/dual pass catching threat to compliment him.

Williams will get more and more time in the backfield as the season progresses. He's going to end up the #1 RB before the season is over. We'll see fewer formations with a fullback, and they'll use a two RB back system at times with Williams being the up back as FB.

It's going to create a little more diverse offense. It should be exciting, watching the changes as they develop.
