Jared Goff: Detroit Lions WR Jameson Williams' speed reminds me of Brandin Cooks

Brandin Cooks had the best receiving season of his career with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018, when Jared Goff was his quarterback and he averaged more than 10 yards per target.

Goff said Wednesday he sees a little bit of Cooks in his new speed-demon receiver, Detroit Lions rookie Jameson Williams.

"He’s fast," Goff said. "He’s very fast. He’s very, very fast."

Asked to put Williams' speed in perspective, Goff said the rookie reminds him of Cooks, a six-time 1,000-yard receiver who had a career-high 1,204 yards on 80 catches in his first season with the Rams in 2018.
