Detroit Lions Tyleik Williams Wants a New Jersey Number

While he is not out on the field, he still believes he can learn a new playbook by studying and watching film.

"I would say just mental reps. It's a new playbook. You got to learn, so I'm going to be in the film room with all the coaches, just learning as much as I can," Williams said. "So when I am on the field, getting more reps, I can do it at a high level."

Prank calls on draft night

Several of the Lions rookies were asked if they received prank calls on draft night. Most did not, but the No. 28 overall pick believes he may have been the target of a prank call, had he answered the phone.

When asked, Williams expressed, "I think I did. I didn't answer it, because it was not the area code of the team that was picking. I didn't answer, but I think I did get one. I looked at it, but I put it back down, because I knew something like that might happen. I was warned ahead of time. Just being smart."

Detroit's rookies emphasized the league should emphasize preventing that from occuring again, especially given the magnitude of the draft for so many people.
