Lions cornerback Jerry Jacobs called Williams’ playmaking ability “legit” after going against him in practice Thursday, and receiver DJ Chark predicted Williams will be a “superstar.”
“I think we’re all excited, man,” Chark said. “The excitement that you guys feel, that we feel is real. I definitely believe he’s a superstar, so anything I can do to help a guy like that, I’m here and he knows that.”
Asked why he believes Williams, the No. 12 pick in April’s draft, will be a superstar, Chark said it’s not just his speed.
“One thing about him that a lot of guys don’t have is the confidence, just the confidence in himself to go out there and make the play,” Chark said. “If you have that, that’s half the battle. If you believe you can make the play, you will make the play. And I feel like he has that and once we can get him acclimated into the system, now you got guys like Saint (Amon-Ra St. Brown), him, Leaf (Kalif Raymond), J-Rey (Josh Reynolds), me. Sky’s the limit.”
