Another year removed from it can only help, of course. But man, those are tough injuries to come back from. I don't expect Chubb ever gets back to where he was and I just can't think of many RBs who ever did get everything back.
Most of the time you have multi-ligament tears in a knee, you're maybe 90% of the guy you once were. And 90% of even a superstar RB is probably not NFL starting caliber.
The Henry Josey that was destroying creation for the 2011 Tigers came back after his catastrophic knee injury and was a very good college RB in 2013, but never had an NFL career. His burst just never returned.

Williams showed such promise that rookie season... last year, I hope it was an anomaly. Either way, you can't get tied to a player and have to hope that if it's not him - it's one of the other guys. I like Jaleel and Estime... Williams though, is different and hopefully not being tied to a Russ led offense will release the beast.
