In case you missed it, Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams and Indianapolis Colts LB Zaire Franklin got into it a bit during a joint practice earlier this week and, not surprisingly, it was caught on film by the ‘Hard Knocks’ crew.
As you are about to see, both Williams and Franklin are extremely competitive and both are not afraid to run their mouths a bit.
Check it out.

Well, if you thought Jamaal Williams was just going to take the high road and go silently into the night, you were very wrong.

Unfortunately, it is unlikely that Jamaal Williams and Zaire Franklin suit up for Saturday’s preseason game as both Colts’ HC Frank Reich and Lions HC Dan Campbell have already said they are going to rest most of their starters.
That being said, you can expect to see plenty of footage of this during next Tuesday’s episode of Hard Knocks!
