Suspended Detroit Lions' Jameson Williams: 'I'm not a gambler, I'm a football player'

Jameson Williams felt "sick" when he first learned of his six-game suspension the night before the NFL announced it last month, but the Detroit Lions receiver insisted Thursday he did not knowingly violate league rules on gambling and still does not know the specifics of what led his punishment.

"The suspension, it pretty much, it is what it is," Williams said in his first public comments since his April 21 suspension. "The policy, I broke a policy. I pretty much looked past those things."

Williams was suspended after a multi-week investigation revealed he bet on non-NFL games from an NFL facility during the 2022 season.
