Sure! Here’s a paraphrased version of the passage, keeping the same number of words and paragraphs:

Alabama Crimson Tide wideout Jameson Williams posted a breakout season in 2024, and the Detroit Lions have taken note.

On Friday, ESPN’s Field Yates revealed that the Lions have decided to pick up the fifth-year options on both defensive end Aidan Hutchinson and Williams. Hutchinson was selected second overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, while Williams was chosen 12th overall in that same class.

According to Spotrac, Williams remains on his original four-year, $17.4 million rookie deal with Detroit through the 2026 season. He’s set to hit free agency as an unrestricted free agent in 2026.

The Lions’ postseason run ended in the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs after falling to the Washington Commanders by a score of 45-31.

Williams set new personal bests last season with 1,001 receiving yards, 58 receptions, and seven touchdowns.

He didn’t begin his college career at Alabama but at Ohio State in 2019. After two years with the Buckeyes, he transferred to Alabama, where he tallied 1,572 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021.

But his final college outing ended badly, as he tore his ACL in the national title game. Alabama went on to lose to Georgia, 33-18.

Because of the timing of that injury, Williams was placed on injured reserve as he recovered, forcing him to miss at least the first four games of the 2022 NFL season.

He finally debuted in Week 13 of the 2022 season and appeared in six games. In 2023, he was suspended for six games after breaking the NFL’s gambling rules by wagering on college sports at the Lions’ facility.

Following his suspension, Williams returned to the lineup and logged 354 yards and two touchdowns. He’s now a long-term part of Detroit’s wide receiver group.
