LSU running back Josh Williams has garnered significant interest from multiple NFL teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and Denver Broncos. Williams, a participant at Shrine, has received attention for his performance on the field.
At 5-9 and 210 pounds, Williams has showcased his skills over five seasons at LSU, with a notable uptick in carries during the 2024 season. He has maintained a career average of 4.8 yards per rush, scoring 17 touchdowns. Williams also demonstrated his versatility in the passing game, catching 31 of 38 targets during the recent season.
The Jaguars, in need of running back depth, are among the interested teams eyeing Williams. With only three running backs on their current roster and future uncertainties with existing players, the Jaguars are looking to bolster their backfield to support quarterback Trevor Lawrence and enhance offensive balance under the guidance of coach Liam Coen, who has emphasized the importance of the running game.
