00:00 John, lately, Jameson Williams has been used in better ways by Ben Johnson in that Lions
00:04 offense.
00:05 It's been very, very obvious to me.
00:07 To you, what do you say?
00:09 Yeah, Vito, real interesting.
00:11 Obviously, Jameson Williams is more than just a deep threat.
00:14 He's been trying to prove that he's a player that can be utilized in this offense.
00:17 And I think that the Lions are rewarding a player that's putting in the work in practice.
00:22 He's asking about the details.
00:23 He's putting in the work in practice.
00:25 He's doing the work behind the scenes.
00:27 And most importantly, the coaching staff wanted him to block, be an effective blocker, do
00:31 things for his teammates, even if he's not involved in the route.
00:35 And you recognize that this is a player that understood that he could do a lot more things
00:40 in this offense.
00:41 And so once you saw a player understand the need and the importance of paying attention
00:46 to details, then obviously the coaching staff and the rest of the roster has developed trust
00:51 in Jameson Williams.
00:52 And boy, when you can use a player with that level of speed to have a double reverse called
00:58 in a key moment in the contest against the Saints, you saw what kind of offensive threat
01:03 and weapon he can truly be.
01:04 Got up to 20.7 miles per hour, according to NextGenStats.
01:08 Flew to the end zone and decided to fly into the end zone and really got the Detroit Lions
01:15 offense really, really was a spark for a team that needed it against the Saints.
01:20 So I think that it really bodes well for the second year whiteout.
01:24 And here's why.
01:25 I think the Lions are recognizing, OK, we can do a lot of different things than just
01:28 send Jameson Williams on deep routes.
01:31 I think you can use them underneath.
01:32 You can put them in motion.
01:33 You can give him the ball similar to Debo Samuel.
01:36 I think this is that's the best player comp that I can think of in regards to an offensive
01:40 weapon that you should give the ball to a little bit more.
01:42 And I think that he's going to continue to earn more targets, more opportunities, because
01:47 you can't teach speed.
01:48 And if he continues to evolve and develop in regards to the position of playing wide
01:53 receiver, then look out, Vito.
01:54 I think he has a real strong chance to live up to being the number 12 overall pick.
02:00 And I think that this offense, when it comes to the playoffs, if there's a spark that needs
02:04 to be had, I think they need to look Jameson Williams way.
02:07 And I think he'll deliver.
02:08 Man, Jamo is a speed demon, John.
02:11 Thanks for all the time.
