Jamaal Williams may have led the NFL in touchdowns, but it doesn't seem the Detroit Lions cared much to bring him back.

The 27-year-old rushed for 17 touchdowns last season after scoring 13 in his previous five seasons, but he left Detroit for the New Orleans Saints.

The Saints gave him a three-year deal worth $12 million. And the way Williams spoke on what the Lions offered, it wasn't comparable.

"They been done with me, I could tell," Williams said about his time in Detroit, via The Detroit News. "The offer they gave me, I feel like it was very, just disrespectful, just showing that they really, you know, didn't want me to really be there like that. But, it's all love. I know my teammates; everybody there at the Detroit Lions has love for me and all that. At the same time, we couldn't come to terms with things.

"You can have the greatest season of your life, and people are always just going to find something to be negative about," Williams continued. "I don't really worry about it, because at the end of the day, I know I'm my biggest critic. And I know what I can improve on to be better. I'm just going to keep doing that. I don't really worry about what other people say. I take notice to it, just to have it in the area and be aware of my surroundings, but I don't really let it affect me as a person.

"Well, I do take it personal, because I take it as a personal challenge for me, just to get better. At the end of the day, I just like proving people wrong. You think you know me. You don't know me. I will show you."

Williams also set a career high with 1,066 yards rushing on 262 attempts for Detroit. 

The Lions replaced Williams with former division rival David Montgomery.

Williams joins Alvin Kamara in the Saints' backfield. If Kamara faces any discipline from an alleged assault, Williams could play a huge role early in the season.

The U.N. human rights chief called on Belarus Friday to end its "systematic repression" of critics and immediately release people held on political grounds, saying some violations may amount to crimes against humanity.

The comments from Volker Türk came as his office released a new report that documents violations of international law like unlawful killings, torture, sexual violence and deprivation of the right to freedom of expression and association. The report is based on interviews with more than 200 victims and witnesses and other sources.

"Our report paints an unacceptable picture of impunity and the near-total destruction of civic space and fundamental freedoms in Belarus," Türk said in a statement, calling on the Minsk government to end "this mass repression" and to carry out impartial investigations to ensure accountability.

Critics say the repression is continuing, and rights advocates in Belarus sounded the alarm on Tuesday about a new heavy crackdown on dissent by the authoritarian government that saw over 100 people detained in a week.

Authorities targeted opposition activists, journalists, medical workers, members of shooting sports clubs and people working with drones, according to Viasna, Belarus’ oldest and most prominent rights group.

The U.N. report pointed to the beatings of thousands of peaceful protesters in August 2020 — the largest demonstrations ever in the country — following widely contested elections that gave authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko another term.

It lamented more than a dozen legislative amendments adopted over the last two years that target political activists and opponents, and said that nearly 1,500 people are currently in detention on "politically motivated charges." Nearly 800 nongovernmental groups had been shut down as of last month, the report said.

A Belarusian court on Friday sentenced the chief editor and the chief director of Tut.By - the country's leading independent news website until authorities shut it down last year - to 12 years in prison on charges of damaging national security and inciting hatred. Another court sentenced two independent political analysts to 10 years after they were found guilty of similar charges.

The conviction of the two Tut.By journalists "is the latest attempt by the regime to kill honest journalism in Belarus," said exiled opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya.

Lukashenko, a longtime ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who backed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has ruled the ex-Soviet country since 1994.
