Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has flashed potential at times during his first two seasons in the NFL after he was selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, but his overall production has not quite lived up to the hype. But it sounds like he’s going to try to change that this year.
Due to injuries and a suspension, Jameson Williams has been limited throughout his two years in the league. But he claims he is “on a mission” this offseason.
“In the offseason, OTAs, I came back on a mission. My mission was just to be the best player I can be, get back to where I was before I was injured, and that was just my goal,” Williams said according to the Detroit News. “I wanted to be explosive, be a big part of the team. That’s been my main thing since we lost going into the next season.”
Williams says he feels “different” this offseason compared to the previous two years.
“I feel a lot different from the past two years. Coming in, I don’t know what’s different about it, but I just feel different,” Williams said. “I can’t even tell you what’s the real reason [for] it, because I don’t really know. It’s just coming out here and having a lot of fun. I’m having a lot more fun than I was. It’s just going great for us, and me also, but really the team. I just try to come out here and be better for the team.”
We’ll have to see how he performs this year and whether or not he can live up to the hype of a first-round pick.
