3. Trayveon Williams

If the Chicago Bears go with a slightly undersized pass-catching option, Trayveon Williams is their best bet. Williams excelled in areas that featured him as a pass catcher, especially with the ball in his hands. That is because he has big-play potential, which showed in his breakaway rates. He was not used quite as often as James Williams, but his breakaway ability between the tackles showed much better.

Williams saw heavy workloads in carries and still showed his big play upside. For a smaller back, he features questions in his elusiveness and lateral agility. However, Tarik Cohen is the elusive, shifty back of the Chicago Bears.

Trayveon Williams is an underrated back because while he is smaller, can catch and brings big plays that resemble Cohen, his north-south running style compliments Cohen. Williams also showed positively as a run blocker, and a three-headed monster of Williams, Mike Davis and Cohen has a nice blend of versatility and upside to it.  Do not be surprised if Trayveon Williams checks enough boxes to be the Chicago Bears pick.
