“And then get them out of here, get them off their feet, give them some rest, because they just played yesterday.” Then they’ll come back in tomorrow and get a lot more of the game plan, the base, third-down, and then we’ll have another walk-through. So, for the last couple of years, it’s been pretty much business as usual.”
It’s the latest in a string of good news for the second-year wideout, who has been limited by a variety of factors since joining the league last year. The Lions are very optimistic about the wideout’s impact moving forward, based on his performance since returning from suspension. His snap count has increased in every game since his return, culminating in a career-high 40 snaps last week.

“It was big, and he’s developing, which is the whole point.” “You know, he’s very much a part of this offense and he’s just continuing to grow and, you know, look, we use him in the run game,” Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket hosts Stoney and Jansen. “We use him for more than just deep routes down the field; we’ve got some screens for him, we’ve got some intermediate.” And we see a kid who just keeps working. He enjoys playing ball and is working hard to improve. His teammates are playing with him and encouraging him, and he is only getting stronger. He is improving.”
Campbell also shed some light on the overall comeback, explaining the team’s mindset after getting the ball down 12 with four minutes left. Williams’ speed fit the plan perfectly, as the Lions needed a quick strike score. That speed has the potential to make or break the Lions offense. He can use it to stretch the field while Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta contribute in the intermediate passing game.
“It was enormous. Obviously, we require two scores. And ideally, you should score more than two minutes on the first one. “You really need to figure out a way so you don’t have to kick the onside kick to get it back,” Campbell explained. “As a result, it was enormous.I mean, we make a couple of plays, then we get there, and he runs a fantastic route. He takes advantage of his speed, Goff locates him, and he makes the play. To be able to strike quickly, with his speed over the top, is, you know, that’s a difficult element to defend. That is what keeps defensive coordinators and defenses awake at night.”
