06/17: Ricky and the CFL
Posted by: Patrick
John Clayton has an article detailing what to expect from Ricky in the CFL: He's a big back in a league built for little backs. His Toronto Argonauts teammate, John Avery, a former first-round pick of the Miami Dolphins, is better suited for CFL play because Avery is smaller and more elusive. Williams earned Pro Bowl votes because of his ability to run inside the tackles and wear down defenses.
But in a league of three-down football, inside running isn't essential. Despite that, Williams should be a success in the CFL because he's one of the most talented players and he's dedicated when he's on the practice field. Will he dominate? Probably not. Will he succeed? Almost assuredly.
