The Facts: After spending his first four seasons with Green Bay, Williams elected to sign a two-year, $7.5 million deal with Detroit. Williams joins a backfield headlined by 2020 second-round pick D'Andre Swift. But Williams feels like the Lions will still give him ample opportunity to display what he can do. "I see this as just a new beginning, a new time for me to just be able to show my talents and show my abilities and everything I've just been working on this whole offseason," Williams said. "I always know that I can always work on something to get better and find something that I can improve or find something new."
Diehards Line:Williams rushed for 404 yards and a pair of touchdowns last season, also adding 31 receptions for 236 yards and a TD through the air. In 60 career games, he has 1,985 yards rushing and 10 rushing touchdowns. He's caught 122 passes for 961 yards with eight TDs. And recent comments by OC Anthony Lynn make it sound like Williams will play a signficant -- if not leading -- role in the backfield. We'll be watching for more on that as training camp unfolds.
