Lions Rookie WR Jameson Williams Sparks Major Controversy Over His Jersey Number (TWEETS)

During his final season at Alabama, Jameson Williams wore the No. 1 jersey. It does not appear he will be going that route in the National Football League.

So what number will Williams wear during his rookie season with the Detroit Lions?

Williams was on Instagram Live last week and he revealed he will wear No. 89 for the Lions.

Last night on IG live, Jameson Williams said he's rolling with #89

After his jersey number reveal went viral on social media, Williams dispelled those rumors.

Jameson Williams isn’t wearing jersey number 89!

On his Instagram live, he said “nah I’m bull” and “I don’t f**k with that”

Yes, it’s that time of year where we have to speculate about a players number ?

Before the draft, Lions CB Jeff Okudah said that he would be switching to No. 1 for the 2022 season. Before transferring to Alabama, Williams wore No. 6 with the Ohio State Buckeyes. That number is already spoken for by K Riley Patterson.

Williams is recovering from a torn ACL, and his status for the 2022 season remains in question. The 21-year-old tore his ACL in January’s College Football Playoff Championship, a 33-18 win for Georgia over Alabama.

It followed a superb season, as Williams posted 79 catches for 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns, emerging as one of college football’s most explosive weapons.
