After another successful season as the workhorse of the Los Angeles Rams, running back Kyren Williams has been named one of the NFL’s 100 best players heading into 2026.
A crucial piece to Matthew Stafford’s MVP campaign, Williams was a triple threat, producing as a ball carrier, pass catcher, and pass protector. He provided the Rams with the versatile tool needed to conduct their entire operation, helping Los Angeles finish with the league’s best offense.
Williams, who was ranked 78th and 85th after the 2023 and 2024 NFL seasons, respectively, came in at 89 entering 2026.
Despite sharing carries and snaps with Blake Corum last season, Williams recorded his third straight 1,000-yard season in his third year as a starter. The 2023 second-team All-Pro put up 1,252 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns off 259 carries in 2025, adding a career-high 36 catches, 281 receiving yards, and three receiving touchdowns to his total.
Williams also recorded 183 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the postseason, despite the Rams’ pass-first offensive attack. Williams was named a team captain for the first time last season, replacing Cooper Kupp in that role.
