Notre Dame in the NFL: Kyren Williams has monster day as Rams beat Cardinals
Kyren Williams was a fifth round draft pick of the Los Angeles Rams in the 2022 NFL draft. To the NFL fans that only know him for that, his success at the next level may come as a surprise.
For those who watched him star at Notre Dame in 2020 and 2021, it was very much expected.
Regardless, the second year running back had a massive performance Sunday in helping the Rams to defeat the Arizona Cardinals, 26-9. Williams rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. He’s now rushed for 456 yards and six touchdowns on the season.
Those 456 rushing yards are the fourth most in the NFL this season.
Check out his touchdown run below and then see how some Notre Dame fans and fellow football fans reacted to his big day after.

Baller!
Kyren Williams is a baller, like was at Notre Dame. Yet, ppl wanted to believe he wouldn't make an impact because of his stature and lack of top-end speed.
Stop overvaluing athletic testing. Game athleticism > testing athleticism.

Williams in his own words
#Ramshouse RB Kyren Williams finished with 20 car, 158 yards & TD on Sunday.
Williams explained what he knew he had to do in the 2nd half vs. #BirdGang ; how he stays sharp every week in preparation for each opponent

Sounds Familiar to Notre Dame fans
Great line from @Geraldini93 on NFL Network tonight, on Kyren Williams' touchdown run: "He stiff-armed one person to get to three people, then he ran them over too."
