Notre Dame football: Best fits for Kyren Williams in the 2022 NFL Draft

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a franchise that could take a major step backward next season, as Tom Brady decided to retire after the 2021 season. Brady led the team to back-to-back playoff berths, and a Super Bowl title, but with him gone, they will turn to either Blaine Gabbert or Kyle Trask next year.

They are also losing Leonard Fournette and Ronald Jones Jr. to free agency, clearing a starting spot at the running back position. In fact, running back may be the No. 1 priority for them this offseason after getting stability at quarterback, so landing in Tampa Bay could turn into Williams going in the second round.

Notre Dame football: 3 defensive players who need to be great in 2022

The Notre Dame football team will once again be one of the best in the country in 2022, and these defensive players must be great.

All three of these teams would give Williams the opportunity to start right away at the NFL level. He is a special back and should be an outstanding player in the NFL, as he is a complete back who can play all three downs, something the league is lacking right now.
