Jameson Williams earned a lot of praise during the spring session at Detroit Lions OTAs and minicamp. Those of us in attendance at the practices saw the growth and professional maturity from Williams throughout May and June, just as Lions head coach Dan Campbell said we would.
On the first day of Lions training camp, Williams kept the positive energy moving forward. “Jamo” had the highlight of the day by catching a deep strike from Jared Goff. Williams exploded through the coverage of rookie CB Terrion Arnold and safety Ifeatu Melifonwu for a wide-open grab well behind the defense.
Williams was battling an upset stomach throughout the practice. In fact, he had to briefly leave the field to vomit shortly after this rep.
The Lions smartly released a video of the play, making sure to capture the trademark Jamo celebratory throw:

We’re seeing this type of big play from Williams more and more as he enters his third season. Hopefully the 2022 first-rounder can keep producing impact plays like this one; he’s done the work to make it happen.
