I agree, I’m a big fan of Olympic lifting. I enjoy following the international scene and the lifts themselves are a lot of fun to do, even though I normally run powerlifting routines. I do think a lot of football lifting programs heavily incorporate Olympic lifts, or at bare minimum a power clean. I haven’t seen the jerk incorporated, but cleans seem to be quite common.

My partner and I lead a small, but growing Strongman group here in SE Ohio.  One of the fundamental movements in Strongman is Overhead Clean and Press, and reflecting back on my Semi-Pro football days, I wonder why more guys didn't train more "power in motion" like Olympic lifters?  So, in my group we teach and coach all major primary lift variations for all of the various movements that apply to Strongman, as well as other strength disciplines.

Now, as this applies to the OP, I feel that not only Jonah Williams, but most players in general could benefit from training the Olympic lifts and even segments of.
