Mr. Knowitall
I am getting a gut feeling about Keiland. I just think that if a ZBS teams takes him in the late rounds, he'll make that GM look very smart. I really like his all around ability, size and quickness. I am not even sure how he has not surpassed Scott or at least get split carries because I think he's just as good of a runner(albeit a different type of runner) with better versatility. I think he's perfect for a ZBS because of his acceleration, COD ability and ability to make people miss. I guess we'll see but I really like Keiland Williams as a mid to late 2nd day pick.
Mr. Knowitall
I still really like Williams. He got injured in his Senior year but looked good. His versatility and athleticism makes him very worthy of a 5th to 7th round pick imo. If a coach could figure out a way to have him run as big as he is(he's like 5'11 220 but runs like he's 180) then he could become a great RB. His speed, agility, hands and elusiveness are definitely impressive for a guy who will probably be there in the 6th round.

Not really injuries until this season, it was more that Keiland was so versatile that they kind of spread him around and at the same time, Scott was a much better fit for the LSU offense. Like I said, Williams has Reggie Bushitis where he tends to not take what is given but instead tries to bounce everything outside. The thing is that he's a big RB with power but also with surprising quickness and speed but he doesn't run well between the tackles...most of LSU's offense is just pounding the ball up the middle. Scott was quite good at that so he won the job. If a team could find a way to get Williams to run like a 5'11 220 RB(which he is), he could be a really good Pro because of his elusiveness, speed and receiving ability.
