Running back Jamaal Williams is set to face the Green Bay Packers for the first time since leaving the organization, and it sounds like he has a point to prove.
Williams signed with the Detroit Lions during the offseason following four seasons with the Packers, who drafted him in 2017. The running back had a pretty funny analogy about his return to the Packers, likening the team to an ex-girlfriend while the Lions are his rebound who is treating him better.
#Lions RB Jamaal Williams likens GB return with Detroit to re-finding love: “Like that ex-gf I gotta go. I’m glad that I got a rebound and it was the Lions, they picked me up. Now they’re feeding me good, taking me to dinner. Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure."

That’s one way of looking at it. Williams was primarily a reserve for the Packers, and while he got his fair share of work, he was never really able to beat Aaron Jones to the starting job.
A lot of current and former Packers have been mad at the organization lately. Williams can join the club, it seems.
