Lions WR Jameson Williams picked No. 18 because of Calvin Johnson, Randy Moss

New Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams isn’t sure if he’s going to stick with the number 18 jersey for his rookie season, but he admitted on Saturday afternoon that it’s already starting to grow on him.

“I don’t really know. I like it, though,” Williams said. “How y’all think it looks?”

This early in the process, Williams doesn’t have much of a choice when it came to jersey numbers. Most popular wide receiver numbers have already been claimed by other players who have been on the roster longer. His college number, No. 1, was already occupied by third-year cornerback and former third overall pick Jeff Okudah.
