Williams, Ryan Virginia Tech 5093 212 4.61
Junior entry. Started 18 games in his career. Played in only five
games last season due to a hamstring injury. Breakout year was
his redshirt freshman year in 2009 when he rushed for 1655
yards and 21 TDs. Runs low where he gives very little hitting
surface for the defense. Natural instincts and feel for running
the ball. Finishes his runs. Can make a defender miss by power
or shake in the open field. A feature runner who has good inside
vision and the ability to create positive yardage on poorly
blocked plays. The Hokies use both the spread and I-formation.
Presses the hole and accelerates through the hole with good body
lean, strength, and power. Good contact balance and run after first
contact. Gets downhill quickly off tackle on the toss sweeps. Flashes
a burst around the edge. Usually schemed to get outside. Has caught
only 30 passes in his career, but is a natural hand catcher. Wants the
ball at crunch time. Question ball security and durability issues.
