As pointed out by our own Mike Payton last week, there seems to be an undercurrent of Detroit Lions fans concerned about wide receiver Jameson Williams due to some vague quotes by management or his social media presence. One thing I’ve heard personally from fans is that they never see him working out, leaving the…
