Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will serve a six-game suspension this season for violating the NFL's gambling policy.
Williams told reporters Thursday that the suspension "hit me out of the blue" and that he wasn't aware of the NFL's gambling rules beforehand.
ESPN's Eric Woodyard relayed Williams' comments.
