Jamaal Williams and the Detroit Lions (2022) gave NFL fans one of the most passionate pregame speeches of the season. After years of being dismissed as a losing franchise, Williams made it clear that the team was tired of being defined by its record. That intensity became part of Detroit's turnaround. The Lions finished the season 9–8, while Williams rushed for 17 touchdowns, breaking Barry Sanders' single-season franchise record of 16.
