Jameson Williams Projected to Become 'Star' in Potent Lions Offense

Detroit Lions expected to be most popular 'sleeper team'.

As the offseason progresses, NFL analysts and pundits have started to take an early look at how the 2023 season could play out across the league. 

ESPN recently compiled early predictions for the upcoming season from several analysts and reporters. 

The staff did include the Detroit Lions as one of the “most interesting" offseason teams and for having a player on the roster who could have a strong "breakout" season. 

"I fully expect Detroit to be the most popular sleeper team this offseason. Coach Dan Campbell has the franchise headed in the right direction, and while Jared Goff's career output has been inconsistent, he has a terrific offensive supporting cast," Mike Clay writes. "If the front office makes a few additions to a defense that has struggled for years, the Lions can make a run at the NFC North crown."

In their polling of which NFL player would have a breakout 2023 season, wideout Jameson Williams made the list. 

Offensive coordinator Ben Johnson recently expressed the speedy wideout will line up at multiple different receivers positions to keep opposing defenses at bay. 

With an entire offseason to continue learning the offense and building chemistry with quarterback Jared Goff, the second-year wideout is expected to become a solid contributor in 2023. 

Fantasy football analyst Stephania Bell explained, "The exciting rookie out of Alabama didn't make his season debut until Week 13 after recovering from a torn ACL, but he gave us a glimpse of what could be in Week 14 when he scored a 41-yard TD against the Vikings in just his second NFL game. With more recovery time under his belt and a chance to work with the team through OTAs and training camp this year, Williams will be a star in a potent Lions offense."
