'I love that kid': Lions' patience pays off with Jameson Williams helping take offense to historic new heights
Allen Park — Jameson Williams has been a test of patience in an industry that rarely allows one.
First, the Lions had to wait for him to heal. They knew that when they drafted him. Then they had to wait for him to mature, more than once, if we're being honest. They also anticipated that when they drafted him.
But the franchise's willingness to shepherd him through to the other side — when others might not have been so understanding — is paying rewards. And after a record-setting season for the team's offense, we can safely point to the emergence of Williams as an X factor worthy of patience and worth the wait.
