There is definitely still sadness from the loss to the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game.
But in recent days many positive topics have also been discussed within the organization.
A big positive from the 2023 season from Kalif Raymond’s perspective was the steps taken by his colleague Jameson Williams.
Raymond spoke highly of how much Williams has improved in 2023 through hard work.“I’m so proud to see him and all the plays that he’s made during this postseason run and the second half of the season,” Raymond said, via Tim Twentyman of Detroitlions.com. “Everything he did was not a surprise because he worked a lot.
It was really crazy to see all the work he put into it.“I was like, ‘Man, your distance in practice, after practice, and before practice has got to be up there. » We have to reach certain numbers. » He got the job done when no one was looking. Williams turned her hard work into a strong performance in the championship game.
On the first drive of the game, he rushed for a 42-yard touchdown. Williams also had a 22-yard reception and a 3-yard touchdown catch against the San Francisco 49ers. Lions’ Jameson Williams is taking a big positive step in 2023It’s probably an exaggeration to say that Williams has turned his career around in 2023.
But the 22-year-old is in a much better situation now than he was last year. After limited opportunities as a rookie due to an ACL injury in college, Williams made a splash on social media last season.
Sports radio host Mike Valenti of Detroit’s 97.1 The Ticket was highly critical of Williams’ setting of explosives on the Fourth of July to celebrate American Independence Day. The recipient also appeared to lack confidence on their social media accounts.
On March 7, Williams liked a tweet suggesting the Lions replace quarterback Jared Goff with Baltimore Ravens signal-caller Lamar Jackson.
Less than 24 hours after being suspended six games by the NFL for gambling violations in April, Williams posted a video of himself at a boxing match in Las Vegas on his Instagram Live.
The NFL reduced Williams’ suspension to four games. But when he returned on October 8, he had just one catch per season and four weeks into his career.
