Stanley

Berryhill

Williams and wide receiver Stanley Berryhill both received six-game suspensions for their violations, while fellow wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore were slapped with year-long bans. Williams and Berryhill reportedly bet on college football games -- which is allowed per the NFL but did so from league facilities, which is prohibited. The Lions released Cephus and Moore just moments after news of the suspension dropped, but Williams will serve out his suspension and be eligible for a return by Week 7 pending the bye week. Williams battled back from a torn ACL to make his NFL debut in Week 13 of last season. He caught just one pass for 41 yards and one touchdown and is expected to make a big leap in his second year. While a suspension will derail his start, Williams and Berryhill will be eligible to participate in all offseason programs leading up to Week 1.

Berryhill (5'10/182) saw limited action his first three seasons with the Wildcats, but he led the team in receiving during a COVID-shortened 2020 before emerging with 865 yards from scrimmage including an 83-744-1 receiving line last year, earning an honorable mention nod on the All-Pac 12 team. Berryhill did show well athletically at his Pro Day, running a 4.46 40 with a 37-inch vertical. He appears to be an NFL athlete, but he is undersized, older, and comes with some production red flags.
