Les completely hosed this guy. Two ways to tell: Top classes and past two seasons records and Keiland Williams a #2 NFL back as an undrafted free agent.

Portis will get hurt soon like he usually does and KW will be a starting NFL Running Back in the same division as Marion Barbor, Felix Jones, Brandon Jacobs and LeSean McCoy. Good luck, KW.

well blue hasn't looked bad running (holding onto the ball is another story)

we haven't seen ford run in a game. we all saw keiland in 2006, which is where his hype began

the ford saga is a strange one, esp b/c blue seems to only be adequate at blocking and he's fumbled at least twice

Keiland Williams


the most under-utilized talent in the history of LSU football IMHO. It sickens me to this day.

How much of it had to do with Porter? I have heard many rumors that KW and Porter had a bad relationship....any truth to this?

Keiland is much better off having not played. He has no wear and tear of a college career.

That was Porters personal issues with Keiland.

Of all of Miles' faults as a coach, not starting KW is among the least of them.

No one can argue that Hester (an NFL STARTER) was the back in 2007. If you don't believe me, ask Tim "war daddy" Tebow.

After that KW had innumerable opportunities to pass CS and he didn't.

It's unlikely that any back could have made a good situation out of the OL disaster of 2009, so MIles probably kept KW from being injured by not playing him more. And the fact that KW was undrafted had nothing to do with Miles.

Mike Shanahan has made stars out of many late round draft picks, and if KW becomes the next one, it won't change the legitimacy of Miles' decision on this.

I think he made up for the pitch fumble by catching that wild throw from JJ the other night

to be fair, he isn't playing halfback

hester was the guy to use on those short yardage plays. i don't think anybody doubts this

it's just that in some games, other backs likely would have been better (and it wasn't always keiland...scott vs UK will always be there)

Can't disagree more with this comment. If he played, he'd probably been a 2nd or 3rd round pick. He would've made more in his first 4 years as a 2nd or 3rd round pick than he will in his career as a UFA.

Mike Shanahan has made a living out of taking unknown, low round pick running backs and making them into stars....he did this in Denver...Terrell Davis, Mike Bell, Tatum Bell...he is the zone blocking king....Keiland is his NEXT
