Cowboys Coach Says Javonte Williams Doesn't Get Enough Credit for This
'He's good at a lot of things': Cowboys OC Klayton Adams on why Javonte Williams is more versatile than people realize.
Javonte Williams has emerged as one of the most surprising talents in the 2025 NFL season. After signing a prove-it deal with the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason following a disappointing sophomore year with the Denver Broncos, Williams has surpassed expectations. In his rookie year, he rushed for 903 yards and four touchdowns on 203 attempts and added 316 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.
However, in his second NFL season, he suffered a severe injury that sidelined him for half the season. The Cowboys rewarded his impressive 2025 performance with a new three-year, $24 million contract, including $16 million guaranteed. Offensive coordinator Klayton Adams acknowledges that Williams' versatility goes beyond his running ability.
He praises Williams' proficiency in various aspects of the game, including the outside zone and weak side runs. Williams' ability to get past defenders and navigate through traffic makes him a valuable asset to the Cowboys. With a strong offensive line, a capable quarterback, and an improved defense, Williams is well-positioned to continue his impressive run in 2026.
