Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams is back: ‘I’m Prime Time’
Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams, having completed his suspension, is poised to make his season debut against the Carolina Panthers this coming Sunday at Ford Field. On Tuesday, Williams broke out his Deion Sanders’ vintage Nike Air DT Max ‘96s for his return.
“For Prime Time, that’s me, I’m Prime Time,” Williams told ESPN when he was asked why he had Deion’s cleats. “When I get out on that field, they’re gonna see man,”
Jamo Put In Work During His Suspension
During his suspension, Williams diligently honed his skills, catching 100 passes daily on the JUGs machine. The wait was tough, especially watching his team’s season opener against Kansas City.
Dan Campbell Pumps the Brakes
While there is considerable excitement around Williams’ return, Lions head coach Dan Campbell is adopting a cautious approach. Campbell emphasized the need to manage Williams’ playing time wisely, suggesting that he won’t be on the field for a full complement of snaps initially. Instead, the focus is on incremental improvement and reliability. Campbell’s goal for Williams this season is clear: become a dependable receiver who excels at executing his role within the team’s framework.
“Get lined up, know where you’re supposed to be. We’re going to get the depth out of you and we can count on you to be where you’re supposed to be, when you’re supposed to be there. That’s it,” Campbell said. “I’m not looking for yards, I’m not looking for explosives, not looking for touchdowns. Man, just be a reliable receiver, like any of those guys in the room. That’s it. And to me, that’s a good year. Cause we’re about winning. It’s not about one player, and that’ll help us win.”
Why it Matters
Williams, brimming with confidence, refers to himself as “Prime Time” and aims to make a significant impact when he steps onto the field. His return promises to inject new energy into the Lions’ offense and presents an opportunity for him to showcase his skills and fulfill the expectations associated with his comeback.
