Detroit Lions podcaster not a fan of Jameson Williams touchdown celebrations.
Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the speedy wideout was able to secure a reception from Jared Goff early in the third quarter and scored a 64-yard touchdown, as defenders had no chance to catch up to him due to his speed and the quality of route design.
Prior to scoring, the former first-round pick decided to launch himself backwards into the end zone, replicating the "Marshawn Lynch" celebration. On a recent episode recapping Detroit's dominant 52-6 win against the Jaguars, Dery expressed he was not too fond of the celebration which sent the"He turned on the burners and acted like a complete clown and grabbed his crotch," Dery said. "I'm done talking about that. Actually, I'm not done talking about that. Let me just get this out of the way before the YouTube commenters come after me. Jameson Williams' act is getting tired. Sorry.
"Jumping backwards into the end zone when you don't have to. What if he hits his head and cracked his head open? What if he got a concussion? What if he hurt himself? Just run into the end zone," Dery continued. "Just do what you're other teammates do. You want to dance after, go for it. .... But every week we bring up an immature act."
Supporters quickly took to social media to defend Williams, indicating the game of football is supposed to be fun, downplaying the health risks of flying into the end zone and calling Dery a "get off my lawn guy."The Locked on Lions podcast is among the most popular daily NFL shows, as the show is featured in top Apple podcast rankings consistently.“Jameson Williams’ act is getting tired.”John Maakaron has covered Detroit Sports since 2013.
