Ed Orgeron Says RB Darrell Williams Has Lost Some Weight, Is Most Improved

He was 233. Now 229. If he's all of a sudden looking like a star in practice, it ain't because of a 4 lb weight loss.

with 1.3 ypc, the sky is the limit for improvement - 1.7?

Weighing 2% more than he does now wasn't his problem. It was his vision. If a hole was closed, he would still barrel into it where as the Heisman contender backs would cut back inside or outside and gain more yardage.

I heard that boy lived at Popeye's

hope he's gonna have the same type of career as spencer ware. i kinda put them in the same box. Ware was an excellent pass blocker in college and it really gave him the time he needed on a roster to shine in the pros. hopefully DW can do something similar

Good to know

Has blanky7384837 showed up to say that he needs to be precisely 216.83 lbs for optimal success yet?

Them bold words Cotton

Good news... if he could get down to 220 going into the BYU game that would be better.

You always want a guy who waited his turn to do well when the time comes. Now is no different. Hope you light up this year, 28!

Great to hear. I feel that Williams has played fairly well in his limited playing time during his LSU career. He seems like the kind of back that can wear down a defense with more carries. He & Guice have different styles but should complement each other well.

This is great news, We need great depth behind Guice. William runs well but has always lacked that burst in the open field, maybe he'll have it with less weight this fall.

People forget he was a 4-star type with much promise. From what we have seen, he has been a model 'team' player behind LF doing his job, accepting his role. Time to shine!

Need big improvement from him this year.

Very good news for this team's future.

Awesome news...really pulled for this guy coming in when he did...he don't act like no akers...he can play..looking fwd to his senior year...

Great for him. Had the balls to come in with Fournette. Glad to see it hopefully pay off.

Down to 229 man..... was he playing at 240 last season?

Need 700 and 8tds out of Darrell. Maybe in Les Offense. Hopefully it can still happened.

229 is still a big RB. Would be great if he breaks out this year.
