‘I’ve always been the same person.’HE Returns with a warming massage

Jameson Williams returns to Detroit Lions practice: ‘I’ve always been the same person.’

Coming off a two-week suspension, Jameson Williams is back practicing with the Detroit Lions.

“What have I learned?” Williams asked rhetorically on Wednesday, standing in the Lions’ locker room. “Just to be smarter, I guess. Move smarter. Be a bigger person in certain situations and things like that. So I would say those would be the main, big things.”

Williams was suspended for two weeks for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy. He would not address what he took that triggered the suspension.Detroit Lions Jameson Williams 'Ready to Roll' After Suspension

“I don’t really want to address those type of things,” he said. “It’s all on the internet. People already have their own type of view and stuff like that, but I’m just stay away from talking about those things.”

Lions coach Dan Campbell said that he believes Williams will learn from this suspension.

“I think any time you don’t get to play this game I think you’ll always reflect and it just helps you to look at it — different vantage point,” Campbell said. “Because it hurts, it hurts not to play, and when you don’t have anybody to blame but yourself, it makes you look at yourself a little bit harder. And so, he’ll be fine, I really believe that, and I do believe he’ll learn from it. I think he — I mean, he was just out there today, in our walk-through we had. He’s locked and ready to go, so I think he’s going to come right out of this on top.”

Campbell’s unwavering support “means a lot” to Williams.

“That’s my head coach,” Williams said. “I’ve been through a lot, playing under him, and we’ve been through like we bumped heads in certain situations, but now, like, I see that he has faith in me, and know he understands what happened and things like that. So, you know, it’s big to me, him having faith in me, being along with me in those situations.”Detroit Lions Jameson Williams Not Returning to Practice Next Week |  Yardbarker

When he was suspended, Williams was allowed to attend meetings and train but couldn’t do anything with the team on the field.

“I’m good,” he said. “It was just two weeks, you know, I’ve been suspended before, and I don’t really look at that as like a good thing or like something to brag about, but no, I had to miss time before, you know, I’ve always been the same person.”
