While many athletes contribute to various charities across the state of Michigan, Williams is seemingly always doing things for the folks living within Detroit\u2019s city limits. From his youth football camp he hosted in 2023, to convincing other teammates to join him at the Downtown Boxing Gym on the city\u2019s east side for a winter coat drive\u2014there is a reason the city has so much love for Waymo. <\/p>\n<p id=\"m2HhJP\">Now, ahead of back to school season and the 2025 regular season, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DM2uQvauDo6\/?igsh=NHNndDNjNWNiemRr\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Williams is hosting a backpack giveaway for students.<\/a> There was a link to register in Williams\u2019 instagram bio, but I am assuming the event filled up quickly, as registration is now closed. To keep up with all Williams is doing in both the Detroit and St. Louis communities, be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesonwilliamsfoundation.org\/blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Jameson Williams Foundation website right here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"RY1OkY\">Whether it is grabbing a late night snack from L George\u2019s Coney on the west side, or popping up at local high school football games with teammates, Williams has shown time and time again that he is all in on the city of Detroit. And ahead of what is shaping up to be one of the biggest years of his young career in the NFL, Williams could see his population amongst Lions fans grow even more once the season begins.<\/p>\n<p id=\"s62hO3\">And now, onto the rest of today\u2019s notes:<\/p>\n<p>Somehow the fit between Old Spice and Lions\u2019 quarterback Jared Goff just makes sense. <\/p>\n<p>Happy birthday to former Lions running back and Wayne State University legend Joique Bell. <\/p>\n<p>The ongoing saga between Jameson Williams and running back Jahmyr Gibbs over their preference in numbers is hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>Lions All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell is both a family man, and a man of the people.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Rolling out to the car and could not believe my eyes! There was Penei Sewell out the front door of the Lions training facility! He had come out to help load the kids into the car (what a gent!), and the fans who had gathered waited patiently at a discrete distance to allow him\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/B97zgKI09R\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/B97zgKI09R<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Clemmie (@LadyClemmieUDL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LadyClemmieUDL\/status\/1952102197103382689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">August 3, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since being drafted by the Detroit Lions at 12th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, receiver Jameson Williams&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":261596,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2071],"tags":[2369,3663,146,113,153,4391,2506,7,29,12912,5164,723,5844,147,88,6,152,151,2546,528,607],"class_list":{"0":"post-261595","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-lions","8":"tag-back","9":"tag-category-daily-links","10":"tag-detroit","11":"tag-detroit-lions","12":"tag-detroit-lions-news","13":"tag-detroit-lions-notes","14":"tag-detroitlions","15":"tag-football","16":"tag-front-page","17":"tag-giveaway","18":"tag-hosting","19":"tag-in","20":"tag-jameson","21":"tag-lions","22":"tag-news","23":"tag-nfl","24":"tag-of","25":"tag-pride","26":"tag-school","27":"tag-to","28":"tag-williams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114971710873598951","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261595","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261595"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261595\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/261596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261595"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261595"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261595"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
