Okay, so the other day, I got curious about Jameson Williams, you know, the Lions receiver. Guy looks absolutely electric on the field, just blazing past defenders. It got me thinking, just how fast is he? Like, what was his 40 time?
So, I did what most folks do, I hopped online and started searching around. My first thought was to check his NFL Combine results. That’s usually the standard place for these kinds of numbers.
Finding the Details
I typed in stuff like “Jameson Williams 40 time” and “Jameson Williams combine speed”. What I found pretty quickly was interesting. A lot of articles popped up, discussions, highlights showing his speed. But then I remembered, wait, didn’t he tear his ACL in the championship game right before the draft?
Yep, that was the key thing. Because of the injury and his recovery, he didn’t actually run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in 2022. So, there isn’t an official time recorded from that event, which is usually the go-to number everyone quotes.
What People Talk About
Even without an official Combine time, the talk about his speed was everywhere. Here’s what I gathered:
- Lots of speculation on what he would have run. People were throwing out crazy numbers, like low 4.3s or even high 4.2s, based on his game tape.
- I saw mentions of GPS tracking data from his college games at Alabama. Some reports clocked him at incredibly high speeds during actual plays, like over 23 mph, which is just flying.
- People pointed to specific plays where he just flat-out ran away from defenders. You don’t need a stopwatch sometimes to see that kind of speed.
My Takeaway
So, while I couldn’t find that single, official Combine 40 number I initially looked for, the process confirmed what my eyes were telling me watching him play. The dude has world-class speed. The injury recovery might have kept him from posting a formal time back then, but looking through the reports and discussions, it’s clear his speed is legit and a massive part of his game. It was kind of cool digging into it and seeing how his speed is recognized, even without that one specific number.
