Former Alabama WR Jameson Williams to make NFL debut Sunday versus Jaguars

Jameson Williams is ready to show the National Football League why he was a first-round pick.

After rehabbing from a serious knee injury in the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia, the former Crimson Tide standout will make his NFL debut for the Detroit Lions on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to report the news and others followed. Williams got selected at No. 12 overall last April after a stellar season with the Tide. He caught 79 passes for 1,572 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021, pacing Alabama to a Southeastern Conference Championship.
