Fans were praying for Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams following his strange post.
Williams, who is heading into his third year in the NFL, took to Instagram to make claims of “living in F- ing hell” via his story.
The MLFootball Twitter/X account reposted a screenshot on said platform. “Praying that he is okay, and his people are checking in on him,” they wrote.
It got quite a reaction from fans. You can see some of them below:

Other fans suggested that the player could have been referencing a power outage that took place in Detroit.
Jameson Williams Impressed In OTAs
In any case, it appears all is well with Jameson Williams, as Lions head coach Dan Campbell told reporters on Friday that the wideout was the most improved player in the squad based on his form in OTAs
“He is a man on a mission,” Campbell said, per ESPN. “And I’m just gonna leave it at that.”
Williams has had a rough start to life in the NFL. He missed the first 11 games of his rookie year due to an ACL injury he sustained in college and was suspended for four games last season after violating the NFL’s gambling policy.
He’s now able to fully participate in all offseason team activities.
“It does a lot because this is my third year, but it’s really my first year going out there and getting real reps with the ones (starters) and moving around with the ones and getting reps with JG (quarterback Jared Goff) and things like that,” he said. “Just moving around, getting the right splits and everything, just feeling comfortable. So, this is my first year doing all that and it just feels good going into it.”
According to Campbell, the player has improved in all aspects of his game, which is timely for Detroit as they lost Josh Reynolds in free agency this offseason.
Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell Had The Best Response Ever To A Question About 2024 Being “Super Bowl Or Bust”

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell had a savvy response to a question about the team’s Super Bowl expectations for 2024.
Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes are entering their fourth season together at the helm in Detroit. Last season, they helped the Lions to the franchise’s first division title in 30 years, as well as their first playoff victory and NFC Championship Game appearance since the 1991 season.
The Lions’ magical season ended with a heartbreaking loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game. Detroit coughed up a 17-point lead in a 34-31 loss, falling just short of the franchise’s first Super Bowl appearance.
Campbell was asked by reporters today if 2024 is “Super Bowl or bust” for the Lions. That’s where the head coach delivered a typical epic Dan Campbell response.
“I don’t see bust. I see Super Bowl,” Campbell said, per Colton Pouncy of The Athletic.

Well, that’s one way of expressing confidence in your team.
Campbell and the Lions will open their 2024 season against old friend Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams at Ford Field on Sept. 8 in a “Sunday Night Football” clash. This will be a rematch from last season’s Wild Card Round contest that the Lions won 24-23.
Dan Campbell & Lions Have A Wide-Open Super Bowl Window
After last year’s run to the NFC Championship Game, it’s safe to say that Lions fans won’t consider 2024 a success unless their team reaches the big dance.
Even if the Lions fall short of the Super Bowl in 2024, there is no need for fans to panic. This team has a wide-open championship window, with practically most of the core players in their early-to-mid 20s.
Jared Goff turns 30 in October, but that’s relatively young for a quarterback in this day and age. Aidan Hutchinson (24 in August), Jahmyr Gibbs (22), Brian Branch (22), Amon-Ra St. Brown (25 in October) and Sam LaPorta (23) are in the early stages of their primes, too. So yes, Detroit is built up nicely for long-term success, regardless of what happens in 2024.
