Back Together Weekend: Highlights, buzz from Saturday's NFL training camps (Jameson emerging as leader on Lions' offense. If the wide receiver contract extensions that were handed out this offseason were any indication, it's a massive 2025 season for Jameson Williams in Detroit.  Williams, 24, enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024, with 58 catches for 1,001 yards (17.3-yard average) and seven touchdown catches, adding one on the ground. His five regular-season catches of 50-plus yards led the NFL, and Williams also had two TDs on two touches in the Lions' playoff loss to the Commanders.  This was a welcomed development after his first two NFL seasons, with Williams slowed by injury, immaturity and inconsistency. He was suspended six games for gambling in 2023 and two more last season for PEDs.  But Williams is now eligible to receive a multiyear extension from the Lions, and another big season could convince them he's too valuable not to lock up long term. Lions head coach Dan Campbell told NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero on Saturday that he's been impressed with Williams' personal development early in Lions camp.  "Growth. Growth and development," Campbell said. "He's going on Year 4, and what you see is a much more polished player, man. A much more mature player. I mean, he's leading the young guys now."  Campbell also praised Williams' strides on the field.  "His route development is so much better -- the detail, the explosiveness, the body demeanor," Campbell said. "He's understanding with his abilities what he's capable of. … It's great to see where he's at." -- Eric Edholm):  https://www.nfl.com/news/back-together-weekend-highlights-buzz-from-saturday-s-nfl-training-camps



1 Storyline To Watch for All 32 Teams in NFL Training Camp, Including QB Battles and Contract Standoffs (Detroit Lions - Life After the Coordinator Exodus.  After a 15-win season and back-to-back NFC North titles, the Lions face a rare challenge for a contender: replacing both coordinators. Johnson and Glenn earned head coaching jobs this offseason after elevating Detroit’s offense and defense, and they took several assistants with them. It’s up to John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard to keep things rolling.  Sheppard, promoted from linebackers coach, is well-liked in the building and understands Dan Campbell’s vision. But he’s never called plays at the NFL level, and Glenn was excellent at making adjustments, especially during injury-plagued stretches. Sheppard’s ability to lead the unit through similar adversity remains a logical question mark.  Morton has experience with Jared Goff and was a senior offensive assistant in Detroit in 2022, but he hasn’t called plays full-time in years. Johnson’s ability to create mismatches and stay one step ahead of defenses turned Detroit’s offense into a machine, finishing first in PFSN’s Offense+ metric. Morton inherits a loaded group but must prove he can be just as creative and efficient.  The good news is that both coordinators are familiar with Campbell and his culture. That continuity helps, but replicating last year’s coaching success won’t be easy. In a season with one of the league’s toughest schedules, any slip in game-planning or play-calling could be the difference between a deep playoff run and another disappointment.):  https://www.profootballnetwork.com/nfl-training-camp-storylines-2025/
