After more than two seasons of ups and downs, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams finally had his breakout game in the team’s win over the Los Angeles Rams on September 9.
Now, he’s ready for a lot more.
The third-year wide receiver had five receptions for a career-high 121 receiving yards with a touchdown in the team’s 26-20 overtime win over the Rams on Sunday Night Football. The former first-round pick came into the season with some high expectations after the departure of No. 2 receiver Josh Reynolds and delivered in Week 1.
Jameson Williams Expects ‘A Lot More’ After Breakout Game
Williams said his big performance in the season opener wasn’t a surprise to him but rather the culmination of the hard work he had put in during the offseason. The speedy receiver predicted there would be a lot more performances like that to come.
“This is just Game 1,” Williams said, via Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “Like I said, I put in a lot of work. I expected to have a big game. Me personally, I expect to have a big game, I guess, it’s just big to the world just cause it’s my first one. But I plan to have a lot more. I don’t plan on this being my best game of my career. I plan on this just being a start of me being me.”
