5. Kerwynn Williams touchdown run vs. New Orleans Saints

In a wild-scoring game in December that saw the Saints defeat the Cardinals 48-41, the best run of the day came from the Cardinals offense.  It was one Kerwynn Williams will not soon forget.

Williams ran for a 49-yard touchdown.  Now, the run itself was nice and it happened to come from almost mid-field.

The real story here was that Williams completed the run wearing just one shoe.  It wasn’t until after he scored that we realized he had lost the shoe.

Williams was able to complete the play and make it look effortlessly at the same time.  It was by far his best run of the season and one of the runs we’ll be talking about for awhile.

Williams should be a viable option as the backup to David Johnson in 2017.  I wonder if he can score with both shoes off?
