Kyren Williams ranks 13th in running back salaries after Robinson deal

On August 5, the Atlanta Falcons signed running back Bijan Robinson to a record contract, highlighting Kyren Williams' status with the Los Angeles Rams. Williams, making $11 million annually, ranks 13th among running backs, significantly less than Robinson's $22.25 million average. Despite fewer carries this year, Williams has maintained similar yardage and improved his yards per carry to 4.8. Discussions on Williams' extension arise, although his consistent improvement, particularly in receiving, may validate his lesser contract in comparison to Robinson's. The Rams may increase Williams' role as they assess his performance.
