Detroit Lions rookie Jameson Williams' long wait for his NFL debut is about to end.
to think he's the real deal"I think we're all excited, man," Chark said."The excitement that you guys feel, that we feel is real. I definitely believe he's a superstar, so anything I can do to help a guy like that, I'm here and he knows that."
Williams will join a pretty deep receiving corps headlined by Chark and Amon-Ra St. Brown for the 4-7 Lions.Many observers considered Williams to be one of the best, if not the best, wide receivers in a historically good class at the position. Previously buried behind fellow 2022 first-round picks Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave at Ohio State, Williams transferred to Alabama and immediately became a premier deep threat.
Catching passes from Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, Williams posted 1,572 receiving yards on 79 catches , with 15 touchdowns. Williams could very well have been the first wide receiver taken in the draft had he stayed healthy, but he ended up being the fourth taken, after USC's Drake London, Wilson and Olave. His talent was undeniable, though, and the rebuilding Lions grabbed him with the hope that his injury would merely delay his talent rather than diminish it.Listen
