Williams has been spotted at rookie camp but has a limited role in practice. With Ohio State making a deep run in the postseason and recovering from a hamstring injury, the Lions are taking it slow. He says, “I would say just getting mental reps right now. It’s a new playbook and I have to learn it. I am going to be in the film room with all the coaches, just learning as much as I can.”
