Josh Williams brings burst and versatility, but is still a depth-piece runner in Tampa Bay
In the 2025 season, Josh Williams logged 4 carries for 11 yards with the Buccaneers, a tiny sample that points to a developmental back rather than a featured NFL runner.[2][3][7] His best immediate value is versatility: he has already shown he can contribute in multiple ways, including kick returns, and he has NFL-game experience without ball-security issues in that limited action.[12][20] The bigger selling point is his workmanlike profile—useful for a staff that wants a low-drama, adaptable back who can handle multiple roles, even if his current production says he fits best as a depth option.[2][12]
