Campbell did also acknowledge that the Detroit Police Department's investigation into Williams "certainly doesn't look good." Williams, the 12th pick in the 2022 NFL draft, has endured a rocky start to his pro football career. After suffering a torn ACL in the 2021 National Championship game with Alabama, Williams missed the first 11 games of his rookie year amid his recovery.
