3. Speaking of Williams, Morton said he’s never been around a player with that kind of speed and explosion. Morton thinks Williams is poised for a breakout 2025 season after seeing how attentive he’s been in meetings and the attention to detail he’s shown. Morton described himself as an ‘aggressive’ play caller, and he’s excited about getting Williams in space and behind defenses in his offense.<\/p>\n
4. The Lions held rookie minicamp last week, and Morton was impressed with the low number of mental errors by the rookies on offense. He said it was a rare rookie camp in that regard. That’s certainly a good sign for the potential of rookies like Tate Ratledge (IOL), Isaac TeSlaa (WR) and Miles Frazier (IOL) to make early impacts offensively.<\/p>\n
5. Morton is well aware of head coach Dan Campbell’s fourth-down aggressiveness. He said that’s going to be a fun aspect of his job this year. He said Campbell will communicate with him before every week about the fourth-down strategy for that game. When they reach a certain point in the field, his mentality as a play caller has to change a little bit, knowing fourth down is going to be an option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.
