McVay sang praises for both Williams and his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. McVay also confirmed that Williams is participating in voluntary organized team activities, and celebrated Williams for his “great willingness to come out here to work.” Williams has worked harder than all but two NFL running backs over the last two full seasons, totaling 663 touches during that span. The figure trails only Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry. Although he turns just 25 in August, the Rams may seek to keep an extension limited to two or three seasons. Williams is scheduled to hit free agency after this season.
