Few members of the locker room in Green Bay were more well-liked between 2017 and 2020 than running back Jamaal Williams, who signed a new deal to join the Detroit Lions this past offseason.
The love between Williams and the Packers is still strong.
During pre-game warmups on Sunday, Williams greeted all his former teammates as they came out of the tunnel at Ford Field.
Dave Schroeder of WBAY captured the scene as Williams gave hugs and high-fives to Packers players, including Aaron Rodgers:

Williams, a fourth-round pick of the Packers in 2020, played 60 games in Green Bay. He gained 2,946 total yards and scored 18 total touchdowns with the Packers.
The Packers official Twitter account had another look at the pre-game greetings:
