Lions WR Derrick Williams Q&A Exclusive...
IP: There have been quite a few injuries to receivers in camp, did you feel you had an opportunity to make an impression on the coaching staff and win more playing time?
DW: I’ve had that impression ever since I came in here. I didn’t come thinking that I wasn’t going to try to contribute to the team. I came here saying anyway possible, I’m going to do my best and go out there and make on an impact on this team year.
IP: You left Penn State with your name at the top of a lot of different returner categories, in your mind what makes a good kick returner?
DW: I think what makes a good returner is the people up front because if there’s not the blocking there then you’re going to have to fair catch.

You just have to count on the other ten people on the field.
