When the Detroit Lions were announced as the subject of the 2022 edition of HBO’s Hard Knocks, anyone and everyone close to the team instantly thought of Jamaal Williams as a potential star of the behind-the-scenes documentary series. But Williams himself doesn’t care about that.
In his media appearance on Wednesday, Wiliams was asked about Hard Knocks. He lowered his head and whispered, “I don’t give a (censored).”
The veteran RB quickly elaborated on why such a mediagenic personality isn’t excited about more camera time.
“All that is to me now is more cameras walking around staring at me,” Williams continued. “I don’t care. I just want to play football. I want to win a Super Bowl. This year. Forget the Hard Knocks, all that stuff. It’s just going to happen, you know what I mean? Like, people think I’m funny, but I don’t do it on purpose. It’s just me. I just walk around and just be me all the time, that’s it. I can’t fake nothing.”
Williams did later joke that he’s working on his abs to show off for the camera and “maybe” he’ll smile when he sees the camera on him.
