The Titans should trade for Green Bay Packers RB Jamaal Williams

Pass blocking and Jamaal Williams
It isn’t fun to talk about, but it is worth noting that neither Darrynton Evans nor Khari Blasingame can be trusted as the 3rd down back for the Titans.
Evans is a rookie and NFL pass blocking is infamously hard for rookies to get right away, especially in a season like this one where there is no way to test him out before the real bullets start flying.
Blasingame has all of 9 career pass-blocking snaps including the postseason, so obviously that isn’t something that the Titans are going to trust him with.
You know who is a good pass-blocking running back, the Green Bay Packers 4th year man out of BYU, Jamaal Williams.
Since entering the NFL in 2017, Williams has had 200 snaps in pass protection and he has only allowed 3 quarterback hits. Not to throw any shade at Dion Lewis, but last year as the Titans 3rd down back he allowed 2 hits on just 109 pass-blocking snaps.
The point is, with Evans being an unknown and Blasingame being someone that defenses don’t view as a threat, it would really help to have some certainty back there.
You may be asking why in the world I am talking about Williams, well because he might be available.
