Jameson Williams discusses how he can be game changer in Detroit offense

Jameson Williams had a successful collegiate career as a wide receiver. Over the course of three seasons at Ohio State and then Alabama, Williams – a former On3 Consensus four-star recruit – tallied 1,838 yards and 18 touchdowns, and that’s why he became a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Selected No. 12 overall by the Detroit Lions last Thursday night, Williams’ dream of playing in the NFL came true, and now he is ready to get to Detroit and suit up for the Lions.

In his first press conference after being drafted by Detroit, Williams discussed how he can be a game changer in the Lions’ offense.

“I feel good about that,” Williams said. “I feel like it’s nothing to me. I play football. I’m a playmaker. So, if I get put in that position, it wouldn’t be much for me to handle.”

Williams joins a Detroit Lions team that went just 3-13-1 overall in 2021. Despite the lack of success, the organization decided to bring back head coach Dan Campbell for the 2022 campaign.

Williams shares how coming from family of track stars has helped football career

While most of the athletes in his family were track and field stars, Jameson Williams stuck with the game of football – and it’s worked out quite well for him.

As he met with the media for the first time after being drafted, Williams shared how coming from a family of track stars has helped his football career up to this point – especially from a speed standpoint.

“I don’t think it’s fast. I think it’s that we was kind of fast but were working to get faster,” Williams said. “A lot of working out, a lot of competing, so we tried to put that upon ourselves. We for sure was blessed with speed.”
