Notes: Lions’ WR hosting back to school giveaway in Detroit

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is hosting a backpack giveaway in Detroit ahead of back to school time.

Since being drafted by the Detroit Lions at 12th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft , receiver Jameson Williams has quickly earned himself a positive reputation in the city. While many athletes contribute to various charities across the state of Michigan, Williams is seemingly always doing things for the folks living within Detroit’s 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’s east side for a winter coat drive—there is a reason the city has so much love for Waymo.

Now, ahead of back to school season and the 2025 regular season, Williams is hosting a backpack giveaway for students. There was a link to register in Williams’ 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 the Jameson Williams Foundation website right here.

Whether it is grabbing a late night snack from L George’s 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.

  • Lions All-Pro right tackle Penei Sewell is both a family man, and a man of the people.

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… pic.twitter.com/B97zgKI09R
