Peers took notice of Kyren Williams‘ breakout 2023 season, ranking the Rams running back No. 78 on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2024.
Williams’ 1,144 rushing yards ranked third in the NFL, while his 12 rushing touchdowns tied with Derrick Henry for fifth-most among all running backs. He accomplished all of this despite missing four games due to injury and also resting in Los Angeles’ Week 18 regular season finale at San Francisco. According to NFL Research, he became the first player in league history to finish in the top 3 in rushing yards while missing 5 or more games.
The Rams’ first 1,000-yard rusher since Todd Gurley in 2018, Williams’ performance garnered his first career Pro Bowl nod and All-Pro selection (Second Team) as well.
