Some cool news has surfaced regarding two of the NFL’s most electrifying offensive players.
According to insider Dannie Rogers, via Dov Kleiman, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams and Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams are first cousins.
Each is on a playoff-contending team and both have a chance to greatly impact the outcome of the rest of the season.

Jameson Williams, in his third year with the Lions, has developed into one of the more talented big-play threats in the league.
This season, he has already set career highs in targets (63), receptions (39), receiving yards (710) and touchdowns (4).
He is averaging 18.2 yards per reception, which shows how explosive he and the Lions are whenever he gets the ball thrown his way.
When it comes to Kyren Williams, he is a focal point for Sean McVay’s offense in L.A.
The third-year running back has rushed for at least 1,100 yards and 12 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.
In 14 games this year, he has surpassed his career highs in attempts (280) and first downs (75), and is on pace to set career highs in rushing yards and touchdowns.
If the Rams find a way to make the playoffs again, defenders will not want to run into Kyren Williams.
The fact that these two players are family is interesting news for fans.
Perhaps they will face each other in the playoffs like they did last year, when Jameson Williams’ team came out on top.
