Detroit Lions' Jameson Williams: 'He is a man on a mission'
The Detroit Lions traded up to obtain Alabama wide receiver Jameson Williams with the 12th choice in the 2022 NFL Draft. Through two seasons, the Lions have gotten 25 receptions for 395 yards and three touchdowns and four rushing attempts for 69 yards and one touchdown in 18 regular-season games from the former Alabama standout. After Williams scored two touchdowns in the Lions' 34-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 28, Detroit is expecting more from him in his third NFL season.

Expert Commentary
Detroit trades up to get a quality prospect that was falling down the board at a position of need. Arnold has a chance to be the best cornerback on Detroit’s roster from Day 1 and gives them a fortified presence in the secondary as the division adds Caleb Williams and J.J. McCarthy.

Expert Commentary
The Lions' run on cornerbacks continues with Rakestraw coming into the fold. Adding him with Terrion Arnold and Carlton Davis gives the Lions and lot of playmaking at cornerback. Rakestraw isn't the biggest or fastest guy, but he can play.
