Jared Goff Launches Deep Pass to Jameson Williams

Jameson Williams showcased his speed during 7-on-7 drills.

After several NFL media sites criticized Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams, the second-year wideout was able to showcase his breakaway speed and deep threat capabilities on Day 9 of training camp. 

During 7-on-7 work, veteran quarterback Jared Goff launched a deep pass to Williams, who was able to fly past both Cam Sutton and C.J. Gardner-Johnson. 

Supporters have been clamoring to see more from the former No. 12 overall pick, as he has also been battling drops throughout the early portion of training camp. 

A veteran receiver on the roster, Marvin Jones, has already started to mentor Williams, something the ex-Jaguars wideout takes pride in.

“It’s always important for me (to help others). I think that’s ever since I got into the league. Even being young, I’ve always wanted to help," Jones said. “So, my second year, I was helping the rookies. You always want to help bridge that gap. Especially with someone the potential that he has, the big-play ability that he has. It’s been great just to be in that room with him and teaching him or showing him or telling him whatever I know to get him going as fast as possible. It’s a good room, in general. 

"A great room. We all respect each other. And we all are competitive and we all lean on each other," Jones explained further. "Whatever anybody needs, we give. That’s always been my goal to teach, and I’ll always do that. We’re a receiver group. We’re together every day. Most definitely, especially once the season starts, we’ll be together a lot. That’s important, too. To have that, to be together off the field, so yeah, that’s what we do.”
