Lions' Jameson Williams quiet in NFL debut, still has 'everything it takes to be that guy'

Jameson Williams spent most of Sunday standing patiently alongside Detroit Lions receivers coach Antwaan Randle El on the sideline waiting for a chance to enter the game. At one point in the fourth quarter, fans chanted, "We want Ja-mo."

Williams, the No. 12 pick in April's NFL draft, played six snaps and did not catch a pass in Sunday's 40-14 blowout of the Jacksonville Jaguars, but still left coaches and teammates convinced of his future stardom after a quiet NFL debut.

"I think as a rookie he’s going to want to come out and light the world on fire, as we all do want him to," Lions quarterback Jared Goff said.
