Jameson Williams learned he would be suspended just hours before the world did.
It was news to him too, considering he says he didn’t even know he had violated the policy.
“I was sick,” the Detroit Lions receiver said. “I was hurt, because I ain’t knew things like this was coming.”
All players are educated on the gambling policy, but Williams is far from the only Lions player to be suspended for violating it. Williams and receiver Stanley Berryhill getting six games apiece for placing non-NFL bets inside the team facility, while receiver Quintez Cephus and special teams ace C.J. Moore got one-year bans for placing NFL bets.
