Don't assume this talented young man is disinterested. He has a laid-back demeanor, there's no way he could produce like he has being disinterested. Not everyone can or will have the Media polish of Hutch, all smiles out going, ready to endorse Broncos... This guy is pumped and ready to help the Lions. He's just more reserved!

[@kenb2957]

People familiar with him from Bama said that this is how he always is during interviews. He's not a public speaker, but get him on the field and he's explosive and excited.

[@christianhowell6121]

Don’t think people are concerned about him being disinterested in the game, pretty sure they’re more concerned about his feelings towards being in Detroit. I personally think that he will be fine once he gets to know the boys. Everyone and their mom knows that the Detroit Lions don’t have the prettiest history or win-lose record, but he understands that the overall goal is to shift the culture here. It takes players exactly like him to make that change happen, and we are well on our way now with the addition of him and Hutchinson 😎

[@corkydukeII5898]

Laid back? He sounds like he's high on weed

[@cerebralfailure8804]

looks to me like he isn't all that interested in talking about things, he'd rather be showing it, can't say as I blame him, I always hated talking to most people outside my circle, and tended to avoid it whenever possible. Have to give Danni credit though, I think she managed to squeeze a few more words out of him than they did on the draft stage lol

[@dashfriday974]

Seriously, when I see interviews like this and guys are quiet and shy, I assume that he’s a killer on the field.

[@martinhogan9745]

I like him even more after this interview. Not at all trying to portray himself as something he is not. I love his personality.

Jameson, you are going to be blown away by the love Detroit is about to show you. We are in uncharted territory of desperation here. I'm 58 years old and am as hungry for success as humanly possible, like the rest of the millions of Lions fans. It appears our ownership has done something right and we have by all appearances some competent management that is looking for character. This town supports our players like other cities, but we are so in need that if you ask us the time, we'll build you a watch. You are an amazing athlete, with some of the "shiftiest" moves I've ever seen. We broke our teeth on Lem Barney, Billy Sims, and Barry, we've been blessed with receivers like Megatron and so many others. It is your turn to shine, don't rush your carrier, stay healthy and play smart we'll love you forever. Oh yeah, we got turkey!!!

I don’t get the hate on this pick This kid EXCELLED against the strongest SEC teams. If Olave and Wilson ran a 4.36 & 4.38, I think Jameson would have ran around a 4.31 maybe even in the 4.2s ( he was faster than both while at OSU) He will compliment St Brown & Hockenson because both those guys don’t have the speed Jameson has so Safteys will have to stay back for Jameson He’s also 6’2 that has elite speed. His potential is limitless

It's clear thwt Jameson Williams is shy by nature. That's cool. The media and the haters want to portray him as not wanting to be in Detroit. The fact is though, Detroit may be the best possible place for him to be. The ownership, mngt and coaches are top notch now, and the fans are some of the best in the NFL. Any player who plays a large part in making this wobegone franchise a winner is going to hold a special place in the hearts of the fanbase. Especially from a guy with a vhip on his shoulder from the way he was held down by Ohio State. the fans would love to see him light it up this year once he is ready to get back on the field again.in the meantime, focus on getting healthy.

It will be nice later in the season when this kid is healthy to see Goff have 2 deep threats. His deep ball really came to life after adding Josh Reynolds. I think Goff gets too much hate, he has protentional. And unless he has a mvp type season he will be resign for cheap when his contract is up.
