Why did Jameson Williams change to jersey number 1?
Jameson Williams also wore No. 1 in college at Alabama, and he chose to go back to it when given the opportunity.
Williams previously wore No. 9.
The Lions' previous No. 1 was Maurice Alexander, who left for the Chicago Bears.
Williams got first dibs over Jahmyr Gibbs, who chose No. 0. Both had worn No. 1 at Alabama, but they didn't overlap with the Crimson Tide.

What is Jameson Williams' 40 time?
Jameson Williams didn't run the 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL Combine because he tore his ACL in the 2022 National Championship Game.
He has said publicly that he believes he could run a 4.1-second 40-yard dash.
He has been clocked over 20 miles per hour on the field by Next Gen Stats.
Wearing No. 1, he certainly looks quite fast.
