Alabama football wide receiver Ryan Williams has bought into ‘elite’ blocking…….

When asked to describe the state of the Alabama football wide receiver room through the first three games, co-offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shephard eventually complimented the unit’s explosiveness and tendency to shine in the clutch moments.

But first, Shepherd talked about his room’s ability to block: how Kendrick Law does the “down and dirty work” as a “junkyard dog” of a wide receiver, how Germie Bernard is “not as violent” as Law in terms of blocking, but is “a technician,” one who holds the right leverage in the right location.

“We got to know who to block, how to block them,” Shephard said. “But then we have to have a desire to want to block them.”

It’s a mentality, Shepherd said, even star freshman Ryan Williams has adapted to.
