Marshawn Lynch reacts to Jameson Williams' viral celebration honoring him after 64-yard TD
During the third quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 17, Jameson Williams of the Detroit Lions caught a pass thrown by Jared Goff. He then made a run for the end zone. His 64-yard touchdown ended with him jumping backwards, grabbing his groin and crashing on the ground.
The TD celebration was a homage to former Seattle Seahawks player and Super Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch. During the latest episode of "The Get Got Podcast" on Thursday, the former NFL player reacted to Williams' tribute to him.
"You can tell he tried that. He had intentions to do that, you feel what I'm saying?" (TS - 1:01)
Marshawn used the celebration several times during his time in the NFL, the most famous of which was after his 67-yard TD run against the New Orleans Saints in 2010.
After Amon-Ra St. Brown, Williams has emerged as the Lions' second-best wideout and is currently averaging 59.1 yards per game.
Why was Jameson Williams suspended by the league in October?
Towards the end of October, news broke that the NFL had suspended the Lions wideout for two games. The reason? He violated the league's rules against using Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs).
However, not one to shy away from the media during tough times, he took accountability for his actions.
“No choice but to take it on the chin. I’m in good spirits, just ready to get back with my brothers as soon as possible," he told reporters soon after the news of his suspension became public.
This was the second time Jameson Williams was suspended by the NFL. The 23-year-old was suspended for six games for violating the league's policy on gambling. However, the league cut short his suspension after four games.
That's not all. Two weeks before his suspension order, "7 New Detroit" channel reported that Jameson Williams had almost been arrested by the police for possession of a gun in a vehicle driven by his brother.
When police officers pulled him over, one of them was reportedly a Lions fan and allegedly allowed him to walk away despite not having a concealed pistol license.
The police are still looking into the incident and why the Lions star was allowed to walk away scot-free.
