Lions RB Jamaal Williams has emerged as one of the most likable players in the NFL—right down to his love of Pokémon and Naruto
The reporter, obviously not very well versed in the world of games, then went on to call Pokémon “Pokeman” – and Williams would not have it. “Pokémon”, the Lions player corrected the interviewer. “Don’t do that. You can’t disrespect Pokémon like that. Pokeman?”
Topping this performance, Williams then went on to introduce himself at the start of the match against the Green Bay Packers on January 8, 2023, as the “first Swagg Kazekage. Leader of the hidden village of the den” in another Naruto reference that likely went over the heads of many fans. To end the day, he attended the post-game press conference wearing a hat in the shape of Gengar, an iconic Ghost-type Pokémon from the original games of the series.
Williams seems to love it, the internet seems to love it, and even though the Detroit Lions may not have made the playoffs, they have a lot of free and positive publicity on their hands, which we can only assume they love. Everybody wins.
