Payton wasn't the only member of the coaching staff to reach out.

Running backs coach Joel Thomas, who coached Williams at Arkansas, also called his former player, making Williams' decision to pick the Saints a formality.

"The effort they put in, I loved that," Williams said. "It was a no-brainer."

"It's a great team environment," Williams said. "Honestly, I already feel like I've been a part of this team the whole season and it's been a day.
