Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell made it clear where Jameson Williams’ future lies following the public release of a bodycam video that shows officers detaining the star wide receiver after a traffic stop.

On Tuesday, WXYZ released a video of Detroit Police Department officers pulling over a car driven by Jameson Williams’ brother, with the Lions star in the passenger seat on Oct. 8. During the traffic stop, officers were told that they have two guns in the car.

Williams’ brother told the cops that he owns the guns and has a license for them. Jameson informs the officers that he plays for the Lions, and that one of the guns in the car is actually his.

Jameson is briefly detained and placed in the police car before being released. The department is now investigating why Williams was let go, even though officers warned him that he’d be taken into custody.

Williams is serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s PEDs policy. This comes a year after he was hit with a four-game suspension for violating the gambling policy.

Per Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk, Campbell clarified that Jameson Williams’ future with the team is not in jeopardy following this latest off-field concern. Campbell said the following when asked if the Alabama product knows that he risks derailing his career:

“I think he does. I think he’s become more and more aware of that over time, and I think he does. For me, I judge people for what’s in their heart. I know what this kid’s made of and he’s worth hanging with. He’s gonna learn from this, he’s gonna grow, he’ll be better for all this.”

Williams missed most of his rookie season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in the Crimson Tide’s 2021 national championship game loss to Georgia. So far, he’s suited up for just 24 of a possible 41 career NFL games.

Through his first six games of 2024, Williams has 17 catches for 361 yards and three touchdowns.

Here’s Hoping Jameson Williams Learns From The Incident

It remains to be seen if Williams will be charged for possessing a weapon. If he does, there’s a chance that he’ll receive another multi-game suspension from the NFL.

There’s no changing the past, but one can only hope that Williams will learn from this legal matter and avoid more off-the-field troubles. He’s well-liked by his coaches and teammates and has the potential to be a superstar in this league.
