Detroit Lions assistant special teams coach Jett Modkins is itching to put first-round pick Jameson Williams’ special teams skills to the test.
On this week’s episode of “Twentyman in the Huddle”, Modkins told Tim Twentyman he would love to see how Williams can contribute to his unit. Once the wide receiver is deemed healthy enough to play after an ACL injury in January, Modkins plans to nudge coach Dan Campbell into letting Williams get in some special teams reps.
“Once he gets back out there, we’ll probably throw little hints out there, try to get the keys to the car,” Modkins said, jokingly.
