| | | Detroit Lions rookie receiver Derrick Williams, a third-round draft pick, probably won't see much action in Sunday's season opener against New Orleans. Drafted to be a return specialist, Williams hasn't nailed down either the punt or kickoff return jobs, and he's the No. 4 receiver on the depth chart. "I think receiver is one of the hardest transitions in the league because of the route adjustments and things like that," Lions offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said. "You might go into a college game, it's not true in every place, but you might see three different coverages. In an NFL game, you'll see 30 different coverages." Source: MLive.com | | |
