Jameson Williams Gets Support From Kelvin Sheppard Amid Production Controversy
The Detroit Lions are on a four-game winning streak heading into this weekend's game against the Kansas City Chiefs with Jameson Williams a hot topic.
Williams has not recorded a 100-plus yard game since the Lions played Ben Johnson's Bears in Motown during Week 2 and some fans have questioned his demeanor on social media according to reporter Kory Woods.
While most fans continue to support Williams, the former Alabama star's thoughts on the issue were revealed in an interview attributed to Woods.
Woods also shared an update from Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard, who revealed his thoughts on Williams' latest dry spell.

Sheppard's Take on Williams' Perceived Struggles
Williams has continued to chip in as a receiver while excelling as a blocker in new offensive coordinator John Morton's system with the Lions.
He hasn't compiled as much yardage as expected lately, failing to eclipse more than 100 yards total over his last three games.
Sheppard shared his innermost thoughts.
"I asked #Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard what he's seeing from the way defenses are playing Jameson Williams that the average fan might not understand when it comes to his lack of targets," Woods wrote.
"Sheppard: 'I would hope the average fan appreciates 34 points per game," Woods quoted the Lions coach as saying.
Williams' Impact Felt Beyond the Box Score
Williams' blocking speaks for itself, and he also provides a decoy that opposing teams must account for regardless of whether he catches the ball or not.
Williams is one of the NFL's best deep threats and commands attention on any route from defenders extending back to both safeties.
The Lions' offense is better with Williams on the field, that much is for certain. Whether or not he puts up Pro Bowl numbers may affect his contract status going forward, but it won't necessarily always affect the Lions' winning ways.
