NFL Trade Rumors
Bears HC Ben Johnson gave Packers HC Matt LaFleur a quick handshake after a huge fourth-quarter comeback win over their division rivals and later showed his disdain for the Packers in the locker room after the victory.
“There was probably a little bit more noise coming out of their building up north to start the week, which we heard loud and clear, players and coaches alike,” Johnson said. “This one meant something to us.”
Lions DL Tyleik Williams reflected on his rookie year after being a first-round pick, saying he’s received a lot of guidance from his teammates on how to be a successful professional.
“Over the year, the guys around me just gave me advice on certain things. How to play certain things and how to carry yourself and I think I’ve just been taking it all in and I’ve been playing better,” Williams said, via Tim Twentyman of the team’s site.
Williams wants to win his rushes at a higher rate next season.
“For me, just more pressure on the quarterback,” Williams said. “I won some rushes, but I’m not winning them at the rate I want to win them at.”
Lions DL Roy Lopez thinks Williams is a “special talent” with his combination of size and athletic ability.
“He’s a special talent,” Lopez said. “You don’t see somebody that size that athletic, that’s for sure. He’s going to be very, very, very, very fun to watch. He knows he’s good and that’s something that’s special. Confidence in a young player goes a long way and seriously, I can’t wait to see him grow. I’ll be a fan of his for sure.”
