Detroit Lions safety Ifeatu Melifonwu has had a first-hand look at the speed of wide receiver Jameson Williams for the past two years.

Appearing on the “Football Analysis” podcast this week, the fourth-year defensive back shared his assessment of Williams’ growth during the offseason.

“Jamo looks really good. Jamo is the best I’ve seen him since I’ve been in Detroit. He’s making plays.

In OTAs, he was making plays almost every day.

He was making plays, whether it was deep, short, intermediate, all over the field,” said Melifonwu.

“And for some reason, I feel like he was faster than he was before.

That’s what it seems like to me. I feel like he’s gonna have a really good season, he’s a really good player.”

Matching up against a player that can take the top off the defense at any given moment presents unique challenges to defensive backs.

“You almost have to know where he’s at.

This is with anyone in the league, based on where players are kind of tells you different things.

But you definitely have to know where he’s at and make sure you keep the top of the defense,” Melifonwu said.

“Don’t let him get behind you. You’re definitely aware of where the speedsters are, no matter if it’s Jamo or someone on a different team. You have to be aware.”
