The 2022 NFL regular season is a wrap and what a season it was for Detroit Lions running back, Jamaal Williams as he broke a record previously held by Barry Sanders. Heading into the season, most believed Williams would play second fiddle to D'Andre Swift but that was not the case as Swift was dealing with injuries throughout the year and Williams stepped in. Williams did not just step in for Swift, but he rushed for over 1,000 yards and 17 touchdowns, which breaks a record.
What message did Barry Sanders record for Jamaal Williams?
Williams' 17 rushing touchdowns in 2022 broke Barry's record and the GOAT recorded a message just in case it happened.

Awesome job, man. You've been a big part of the success this year, and I know you're just getting started. Great job.”
