NFL franchise Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams looks to be really up for the challenges that lie ahead of his rookie campaign. The franchise and the player seem to share the same amount of belief in each other as they traded from 32nd to the 12th overall pick in the NFL Draft. Amid reports of Williams being unhappy about his new team, the rookie swiftly handled the situation.
While talking about the Lions, Williams states, “I’m looking forward to it, for real. Football, it’s what I do. They traded up for a reason, trusted me and my playmaking ability. We gonna put everything together after my rehab, and we’re gonna show the world.” He adds that it was just his tiredness that led to his subdued reaction to his new team.
