Williams poised to be top 2006 draft back from Memphis
The Memphis running back DeAngelo Williams is seen as a workhorse type who could be chosen in later rounds to complement a starter like Reuben Droughns. Scouts note his prodigious production at Memphis with 1,864 rushing yards as a senior and 7,568 all-purpose yards, while questions remain about his size and blocking. Williams aims to be as impactful as Reggie Bush but emphasizes his own goal to perform and contribute immediately as a third down back and returner.
