With the first episode airing on Tuesday, footage has emerged of running back Jamaal Williams breaking down practice in a team huddle. Williams gave an emotional speech to the team before they put their hands together, and his words should have Lions fans fired up and ready to run through a wall.
Let 'em know, Jamaal!

âI wanna let yâall know, man. Today is the minimum of effort. Do not give up, do feel like youâre tired. When youâre tired, think of last year and think of that f**king record. Last year wasnât it. That ainât us. We can make it. Have some heart. I get emotional about this, Iâm about to cry, because I care about yâall,â said Williams. âDo your best, letâs go. Lions on three!â
Despite Detroitâs struggles over the past few seasons, Williams is ready for the team to take a big leap in 2022, and he was ensuring that his teammates know exactly how he feels. After a 3-13-1 showing in 2022, Williams is making sure no oneâs head has dropped and is passionately advocating for everyone to continue giving their all.
Williams is one of the most positive and passionate players in the NFL, making him the perfect player to break down the huddle. Fans can expect to see a lot more of Williams firing the team up, and if this doesnât get the city of Detroit pumped for the season, weâre not sure what will.
Last season, Jamaal Williams featured in 13 games, rushing 153 times for 601 yards and 3 touchdowns while splitting the backfield with DâAndre Swift.
