Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams has put together a career year during his first season in Arlington.
After signing a one-year, $3 million contract with the Cowboys in the offseason, Williams has been a major reason why Dallas’ offense has been of the best in the NFL this season headed into the Thanksgiving matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Headed into the game, Williams is already well on pace to surpass the career-high numbers he posted as a rookie with the Denver Broncos in 2021, as he’s tallied 181 carries for 896 yards and a career-best eight touchdowns in 11 games so far this year. He’s also added 28 catches for 107 yards and a receiving score.
