It might take longer for Jamaal Williams to assimilate to New Orleans culture than we first thought. The Saints’ big free agent pickup joined many of his new teammates at a draft-day crawfish boil, but his first exposure to the “mud bugs” didn’t go as well as hoped.
“I don’t understand how people eat pounds of this. I probably only ate ten and I’m already sweating,” Williams laughed, wiping his brow. “Y’all got any barbecue sauce?”
That earned a grimace from Tyrann Mathieu, who scoffed at the notion of needing barbecue sauce, ketchup, or anything else, “No, no, when they cook ’em they cook ’em in a pot with a bunch of seasoning, so they’re already seasoned.”
Williams got his barbecue sauce and swore it hit the spot, petitioning his case to Mathieu and their teammates while taking a shot at Will Levis: “There’s a whole dude that puts mayonnaise in his coffee and y’all worried about barbecue sauce?”
Hey, he’ll come along. It just might take some time. Williams is a big character with plenty of charisma, but more importantly he’s a big-time player. He’ll be a key piece of the Saints running game as they work to share the load with Alvin Kamara and rookie third-round pick Kendre Miller.
