The Detroit Lions had to wait until Week 13 to get first-round receiver Jameson Williams on the field, as Williams was recovering from the torn ACL he suffered in the 2021 College Football Championship against Georgia. Williams had just eight snaps and no catches last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a 40-14 win, but everybody in the organization had to be excited about what Williams could do with a bit more experienced.
After all, Williams’ college tape from Alabama showed a guy with the kind of skill set you see from a Tyreek Hill, which is to say, it’s a skill set you don’t see very often. That’s why the Lions were quite happy to take him with the 12th overall pick in the 2022 draft, knowing that his rookie season was going to be mostly a waste year.
