With Jameson Williams back, the Lions are a team no one wants to play

The Detroit Lions are 3-1 with a top-10 offense and a top-five defense, and they’re about to get 2022 first-round pick Jameson Williams back from a gambling suspension.

That makes an already explosive Lions team one of the most dangerous in the NFL, and the rest of the league has officially been put on notice.

Williams isn’t just a really talented receiver. He possesses something arguably no other wideout on the roster does: the ability to turn any play into a home run. 

Williams is fast, he’s dynamic, he’s agile and he is a pure playmaker, which just adds another dimension to the Lions’ passing attack.

“I’ll never forget Mike Wallace, he was the same way,” receivers coach Antwaan Randle El told reporters on Tuesday. “He took a shallow route and took it 60 yards. It was just like, ‘What? What happened?’ because it just happened so fast. That’s the way I see (Williams), in terms of his speed and being able to use it. So, we’ll get there.”

Williams has been limited since Detroit drafted him 12th overall last year. He recorded just one reception in six games as a rookie, but that one reception was a microcosm of what he’s capable of with the ball in his hands.

He blew past the Minnesota Vikings defense and hauled in a 41-yard touchdown uncovered with the nearest defender a good five or so yards away.
