Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams pointed to the departure of former offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski as a reason behind his strong start to the season.
"I'm not going to start anything or push anything out there," Williams said Tuesday. "I can say this, though -- a different offensive coordinator. I can definitely say that. The last offensive coordinator got rid of his starting running back."
DeAngelo Williams has 291 rushing yards through three games, the third-highest total in the league.
Chudzinski, who is in his first season as coach of the Cleveland Browns, was instrumental in the team's trade last week that sent star running back Trent Richardson to the Indianapolis Colts
