JAMAAL WILLIAMS 2023 SEASON ANALYSIS:
Running back Jamaal Williams played in 13 games with four starts in his first season with the team missing time due to a hamstring injury. The veteran rushed the ball 106 times, gaining 306 yards and scoring one touchdown as well as adding 18 receptions for 62 yards.

BEST QUOTE OF JAMAAL WILLIAMS' 2023 NFL SEASON:
"I thought Jamaal (Williams) stepping up - that's no shock to me - Jamaal's, you know, one of the best running backs - power running backs that you're going to find. And he's one of the most enthusiastic – he's a different cat, but he's one of my favorite teammates I've ever had because of his love for, not only the game, but his love for his teammates. You know, he tells us all the time 'I'm going to run through someone's face for y'all, this ain't for me.' You know, and when you have a guy like that you can always go to bat with him and Taysom (Hill) could probably talk about him even more, you know, with the years they spent together, but the short time I've been with him, he brightens my day every time I see him and to see him get a lot of carries, make some tough yards for us today, against a really good run defense, I thought he did a good job."
