Cat Scratch Reader on DeAngelo Williams
From the article
The Carolina Panthers used the 27th overall pick in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft to take a dynamic running back out of Memphis... He rewarded that faith with over 1,500 rushing yards and a career high 18 touchdowns, earning him the PFWA Most Improved award and a Second Team All-Pro nod for his breakout season.
STACKED’s take
DeAngelo Williams ranked #17 all-time Panther; 2008 breakout season: 1,500+ yards, 18 TDs.
The source ranks DeAngelo Williams #17 in its Top 100 Panthers of all time, highlighting his elite production during his 2008–2009 peak and nine-year longevity with the franchise. Williams was drafted 27th overall in 2006 out of Memphis after posting over 6,000 college rushing yards and back-to-back seasons of over 2,000 total yards and 42 total touchdowns; though he lacked Reggie Bush-tier pre-draft buzz due to playing outside a major conference, he was the third of four first-round running backs taken that year. After limited early-career carries behind Deshaun Foster, Williams earned the starting job in 2008 and responded with over 1,500 rushing yards and a career-high 18 touchdowns, earning PFWA Most Improved and Second Team All-Pro honors.
