In his absence, the offense averaged 38 points per game and receivers like Kalif Raymond and Tim Patrick stepped up.
Campbell points to the latest suspension as a valuable learning opportunity for the young players, as time away from the match can be a valuable reminder that football can be taken away.
“I think every time you don’t play this game, you’ll always think, and it helps you look at it (from) a different point of view. It hurts, man, it hurts not to play,” Campbell said. “When you have no one to blame but yourself, it makes you look at yourself a little harder. And so he’s going to be okay, I really believe that, and I really believe he’s going to learn from it. He was just there during our walkthrough that we had, man, he’s locked up, ready to go. I think he’s going to get out of here right away.

“Just to be smarter, I guess. Move smarter,” Williams explained. “Be the bigger person in certain situations and things like that. That would be the most important thing.”
As for the details of the suspension, the 23-year-old did not reveal any further details.
“I don’t really want to discuss this stuff, it’s all on the internet and stuff like that,” Williams said. “I think people already have their own views and things like that. I won’t talk about it.”
At the request of Lions OnSI If he had a message for fans worried about distractions, the former first-round pick said, “I wouldn’t say I have a message. People see me how they see me. I’m my own person, and stuff like that. So I wouldn’t say I have a message.”
Time away from the team
Williams explained that despite being away from the team at times, he was still the same person and relied on his close support to get through not playing.
“I’m doing well. It was only two weeks. I’ve been suspended before, and I don’t really look at that as a good thing, something to brag about, but I’ve missed time before. I’I will always be the same person,” Williams explained. “It won’t change me. Certain people want to see you down, certain people want to see you with your head down and not doing the right thing, not making the right decisions. But I’m me, I always come out. the same person every situation, and I will always be the same person every day. I actually just said, “I’m fine.”
Despite the support, there were people who did not reach out in his absence.

Because times were hard at that time, because I couldn’t play with the ball. That’s my job, that’s what I do. I considered it love. People take care of you in certain situations, people give Maybe I don’t care. In certain situations I don’t hear from some people I expected to hear.”
