Jameson Williams Bio

Jameson Williams is a Detroit Lions wide receiver. As of September 17, 2026, he is listed as active on the Lions’ roster and wears No. 1. Williams is 6-foot-1 and attended Alabama after beginning his college career at Ohio State. Detroit acquired him in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, moving up to select him with the 12th overall pick.

Williams emerged as a major downfield weapon during his 2021 season at Alabama, where he earned first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC recognition. His game is built around rare speed, vertical-route ability and the capacity to turn space into explosive gains; Detroit has also used his movement skills in ways that create opportunities beyond conventional outside-receiver alignments. The Lions announced on September 7, 2025, that they had signed Williams to a contract extension through the 2029 season.
