There is certainly still heartbreak for the loss the Detroit Lions suffered in the NFC championship game. But there’s also been a lot of positives discussed around the organization the past couple days. One huge plus of the 2023 season from Kalif Raymond’s perspective was the strides fellow wideout Jameson Williams took.
Raymond spoke very highly of how much Williams improved through hard work during 2023.
“I am so proud of watching him and all the plays that he’s had over this postseason run and the latter half of the season,” Raymond said, via Detroitlions.com’s Tim Twentyman. “Everything he was doing it didn’t come as a surprise because he was putting in so much work. It was actually crazy to see how much work he put in.
I was like, ‘Dude, your distance in practice and after practice and before practice has got to be up there. It’s got to be hitting some numbers.’ He put the work in when nobody was looking.”
Williams cultivated his hard work into a strong championship game performance. He rushed for a 42-yard touchdown on the game’s opening drive. Williams also had a 22-yard reception and a 3-yard touchdown catch against the San Francisco 49ers.
