If you’ve followed Jameson Williams since the Detroit Lions drafted him, you know one thing—he loves celebrating touchdowns. Few players in the league show as much excitement after scoring as Williams does.
However, not all of his teammates are happy with his celebration style, especially when he leaves them behind. Fellow wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown recently expressed his frustrations about Williams’ post-touchdown celebrations on his podcast.
Amon-Ra St. Brown Comments on Jameson Williams’ Celebrations
During the latest episode of his podcast, St. Brown shared how Williams’ touchdown celebrations often exclude his teammates. According to St. Brown, Williams focuses solely on his celebration, ignoring the teammates who are there to celebrate with him.
“This (expletive) would dunk the ball, look around,” St. Brown said on the podcast. “First, he scores, I’m right behind him, but he’s running. I’m like, ‘Where is he running?’ He dunks it, falls down, gets up, and we’re ready to celebrate. D-Mo’s there too. But then he takes off again, jumps into the stands. Me and D-Mo are standing there like, ‘I’m not chasing this (expletive).’”
St. Brown’s remarks highlight how some teammates feel left out when Williams runs off to celebrate, despite their desire to join in. While his enthusiasm is appreciated, St. Brown and the rest of the Lions’ offense believe it’s important to balance individual celebrations with team moments.
A Possible Fine for Williams
Williams’ habit of celebrating alone has even led to a playful suggestion from St. Brown and others—a potential fine if he keeps ignoring his teammates. “We told Jamo if he does it again, it’s a fine,” St. Brown said. “If he doesn’t celebrate with us, it’s a fine.”
Although the idea of a fine is likely more joking than serious, St. Brown expressed his wish for Williams to save some excitement for the next touchdown. “This fool gets so many celebrations in,
I’m like, ‘Bro, you’re gonna score again. Save it for the next one,’” St. Brown joked. But Williams has his reasons. “He’s like, ‘Bro, I’ve got so much (expletive) in my head, I’ve gotta get it out, it’s hard.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, you’ve got to wait till next time.’”
What It Means for the Lions
St. Brown’s comments, though critical, likely stem from wanting to see Williams channel his passion into team-centered celebrations. The Lions are building chemistry and success, and a united offensive unit that celebrates together can only help.
For Williams, this could mark a shift in how he handles his touchdowns. Sharing those moments with his teammates could help build a stronger bond and give the team more opportunities to celebrate as a group.
The Bottom Line
Jameson Williams is full of energy and enthusiasm, and his celebrations reflect that. But as Amon-Ra St. Brown points out, it’s important to include the team in those moments.
While the Lions’ receivers support Williams’ unique style, they want to make sure big moments are shared together. The mention of a “fine” is in good humor, but it also serves as a reminder for Williams to bring the team along in his celebrations.
