Williams has been with the Saints offensive coaching staff since 2019, and he'll be working closely with Louisville's Malik Cunningham, Fresno State's Jake Haener, and BYU's Jaren Hall. He'll join Ronald Curry (Offensive Coordinator for the National Team), Declan Doyle (Tight Ends Coach for American Team), and Cory Robinson (Safeties Coach for for American Team).
"It's a great opportunity to be on this stage to run quarterback meetings and coach the quarterbacks," Williams told Saints News Network's Kyle T. Mosley. "That's always been my passion to coach that position. I've always loved that position."
New Orleans has some good representation going into next week, and will undoubtedly have their scouts and front office personnel in attendance. The team has had a knack for drafting players from the Senior Bowl, and this year figures to be no different.

I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011. My work has been featured on various outlets over the years. I worked closely with Skyhorse Publishing in Fall 2018 to update the book, Tales From the New Orleans Saints Sidelines, which filled in all Saints material from the 2013-2017 seasons. Prior to joining Saints News Network, I served as the Managing Editor of SB Nation's Canal Street Chronicles for 3.5 years, and before that with FanSided's Who Dat Dish as the Managing Editor for several years. I have also had experiences of being a freelance Saints reporter for The Sun Herald in Biloxi, MS and a contributing writer for WDSU, a local NBC TV station in New Orleans. I have appeared on a vast amount of TV and Radio shows, both nationally and locally. For tips, comments, or suggestions, please contact me at johnhendrix@saintsnews.net
