Jameson Williams’ recent performance is making waves online after a standout game in his third NFL season with the Detroit Lions.
On Sunday, in a home game against the Los Angeles Rams, the former Alabama wide receiver had an impressive showing, recording 121 receiving yards and a touchdown from five catches on nine targets in a 26-20 victory.
A highlight of his performance was a remarkable 52-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter that extended the Lions’ lead to 14 points.
Williams displayed a high level of confidence and skill on the field, contributing significantly to the Lions’ 200 passing yards against the Rams’ defense.
Despite his standout performance, he candidly expressed feeling like a rookie during his postgame interview. “I ain’t never did this before,” he admitted with a smile.
Reactions from fans and social media users have been overwhelmingly positive. One user on X (formerly Twitter) praised the Lions’ offense, suggesting it will be exceptional this year, while others celebrated Williams’ performance and his potential as a key player for the team.

Comments like “PLENTY more to come young fella!” and “Lions found themselves a legit WR1” reflect the excitement surrounding his breakout game. Another fan highlighted his teamwork and selflessness, adding to the praise.
Williams faced challenges in his first two seasons due to injuries and a suspension, which hindered his ability to establish himself as a reliable deep threat. However, with these issues behind him, he appears poised for a successful season, fulfilling the expectations that came with his 12th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
As he heads into Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Williams aims to maintain his impressive form and continue to make an impact.
