Williams Suffers Concussion

Mark Schlabach of ESPN.com has the news:

With Devonta Freeman off to the NFL, the former safety has stepped into the featured role in the Seminoles backfield. After averaging a ridiculous 8.0 yards per carry during Florida State's national championship season, he has continued to rip off big runs while also serving as a legitimate threat in the passing game. 

"He's 6-foot-1, 232 pounds, runs a 10.5 100-meters–can catch, can run, is very natural with the ball in his hand," said head coach Jimbo Fisher, via Fox Sports' Michael Jay Welch. "He can change numbers on a scoreboard."

He's an electrifying talent, and his presence on the field will be sorely missed. The fortunate news, though, is that if he is forced to miss a significant amount of time, the Seminoles have depth at the position, even with sophomore Ryan Green still recovering from his shoulder injury. 

Sophomore Mario Pender and true freshman Dalvin Cook certainly represent the future in Tallahassee, but they've both already proved they can play at this level right now. And like Williams, they each possess world-class speed that can change a game in an instant. 

The Tallahassee Democrat's Corey Clark touched on that after Cook impressed in his collegiate debut against the Citadel:

Neither player has a ton of experience, so Fisher may choose to lean a little more on quarterback Jameis Winston and the passing game, but either way, this offense has enough weapons all over the field to remain efficient if Williams' injury is serious. 

Still, the senior brings an extra dynamic. Fisher and his staff will be hoping he won't be out long.
