New Lions DT Sylvester Williams excited 'to build something' in Detroit

Posted Apr 7, 2018

Now, the Detroit Lions are hoping Williams can have a similar impact on their defense. The Lions signed Williams to a one-year contract on Wednesday, adding a 313-pound run-stuffing presence to the middle of their defensive line. (Detroit Free Press)
