Round 5, 156th Overall: Jonathan Williams, RB (Arkansas)

The talented running back was brought in to fight out for a backup spot on the Buffalo Bills with Karlos Williams and eventually Mike Gillislee.

Appearing in 11 games his rookie season, Jonathan Williams didn’t do too much, recording 94 yards and one touchdown. This was the running backs only season with the Bills and he was cut by the team before Week 1 in 2017. Williams bounced around multiple practice squads and finally found his footing in 2019 with the Colts. The former Arkansas running back had back to back 100 yard games with the Colts but with the Colts drafting Jonathan Taylor, playing time may be hard to come by.
