Lions' Derrick Williams Eager For 'Good' Season
Derrick Williams struggled to catch punts and was benched on kickoff returns as a rookie for the Lions last season, but he said he always trusted his ability.
"I never lost my confidence," he said. "I just have to come in and have to get familiar with everything, get familiar with the play-calling and everything's going to be good."
Williams is eager to look ahead, especially since it's a little hard to look back. Last year, the Lions' roster lacked depth and that led to glaring shortcomings on special teams. When protection broke down, the opposition's gunners would have a clear shot at Williams.
