Kyren Williams: Rams’ Backfield ‘Just Grinding’ This Summer
Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams thinks draftee Blake Corum will help him build on his breakout season.
Kyren Williams caught the eye in 2023 after not catching the eye so much in 2022. Last season, he had 1,144 yards on 228 carries and 12 touchdowns in as many games.
Entering his third year with some good play on his record, Kyren Williams is talking about being an example. Working hard is one way to achieve this, and the Rams’ backfield is currently doing just that.

“Honestly, it’s growing off of what I did last year. Being a leader out there on the field and being somebody that people could come to or watch, observe and see what they need to do to be successful,” Williams said.
“So, for me it’s just living by that and just picking off of what I did last year — being able to create more explosives in the run game, also being able to create more explosives in the pass game. I’m super excited that we went to go draft Blake Corum. (He’s) somebody that can run the ball very well and hopefully it allows me to get to the slot or run routes out of the backfield to showcase my skills.”

“Obviously, we talk together about what we can do as a unit with every guy. Myself, Ronnie (Rivers), Zach Evans, Boston Scott and even Blake Corum, we talk about what we can do as a whole,” Williams said.
“We are just working each and every single day to be where we want to be. There’s not conversations where we are like, ‘Blake, I can’t wait until I hit this run and you hit this run.’ We are just grinding, and when those times come, those are conversations that you have on the sideline during the game.”
