After working to mend fences with the Lions in recent years, Calvin Johnson recently expressed his desire to offer support to one of the team’s budding receivers amid his ongoing troubles off the field.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer spent time this past week visiting Detroit’s minicamp, where he met with second-year wideout Jameson Williams. The 2022 first-round pick has been practicing with the team this offseason, though he won’t take the field until Week 7 after receiving a six-game suspension in April for violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
During a radio appearance on Friday, Johnson spoke about his first time meeting with Williams and how he hopes to impact his life. The former All-Pro also praised Williams for his inspiring rookie season, which saw the 22-year-old debut in Week 13 following a lengthy recovery from a torn ACL he sustained in college.
