No one will—or ever should—question the passion of Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams. He’s the kind of player that coaches just love—just ask any who have had the pleasure of coaching with him. And while some of that passion seemed subdued or hidden under the surface in Williams’ first year with Detroit, there’s been no suppressing it this year. It started with his passionate speech on “Hard Knocks” and has continued throughout the season as we’ve seen him excel on the field and hype up his teammates off of it.
And when Williams isn’t being a strong leader, he’s being an entertainer.
