The Chargers have claimed running back Andre Williams off waivers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Williams was cut by the Giants yesterday as part of their effort to get down to a 53-man roster.
Williams will head to San Diego and join a running back depth chart that includes former first-rounder Melvin Gordon and Danny Woodhead, meaning the former Giant likely won’t have a large role in the offense. However, the Chargers recently lost both Branden Oliver and Dreamius Smith, so there might be a few extra carries lying around for Williams to take.
If this back could just hit the whole hard like he did at B C he could easily be a 5.0 ypc back.
Andre Williams had no holes to run through … Giants could only pass protect most of the year…:(
