Former Texas A&M RB shines as Lions’ preseason Player of the Game

Former Aggie RB Treyveon Williams earned Player of the Game honors for Detroit, totaling 60 yards and a TD just a week after signing with the Lions.

Former Texas A&M running back Trayveon Williams has been making waves during the NFL preseason, earning the prestigious honor of being named Player of the Game for the Detroit Lions. Williams, who played for the Aggies from 2019 to 2023, showcased his skills with 60 rushing yards, an 11-carry touchdown, and an impressive touchdown reception in the Lions’ preseason game against the Washington Commanders.

This performance came just a week after Williams signed with the Lions, which demonstrates his continued determination to make an impact in the league. Williams' college career at Texas A&M was nothing short of remarkable, as he set school records for rushing and all-purpose yards and earned numerous accolades, including Doak Walker Award semifinalist, First‑Team All‑SEC, and Second‑Team All‑American honors.

Despite initially being selected in the sixth round by the Cincinnati Bengals, Williams struggled to make an impact at the professional level before landing with the Detroit Lions. His standout preseason performance suggests that he may have more opportunities to prove himself in the future.
