Detroit Lions star Jameson Williams has a cousin in the NFL.
The league has had plenty of family members join its ranks over the years, but it is pretty rare for them to play at the same time while also being top-tier.
This happens to be the case with Jameson and Kyren Williams, who are actually closely related. The latter, who plays as a running back for the Los Angeles Rams, is first cousin to the former.
Lions TV Network’s Dannie Rodgers revealed as much this Thursday, which came as quite a surprise as it is not listed on either player’s Wikipedia page – at least, it wasn’t before Thursday.
“#Lions Jameson Williams and #Rams Kyren Williams are cousins. Actual first cousins lol,” Rogers tweeted.
