Career-high 2025 season sets up expanded screen/pass-game role in 2026.

Starting RB returning with career highs across carries, yards, touchdowns, yards per attempt, and rushing success rate in 2025; the source notes Williams set these benchmarks and is positioned as the lead back under Schottenheimer's scheme, which historically allocates ~69% of team carries to the lead back. The Cowboys are specifically working to expand Williams' role in the screen game and short passing game in 2026, areas where he left opportunity on the field in 2025.
