BREAKING: New Orleans Saints To Add WR Coach To Offensive Staff

Final New Orleans Saints roster projection after preseason finale

Another big addition for the Saints offensive staff, as they add a respected coach to the receiver room.

Nick Underhill of neworleans.football was the first to report on Monday evening that the New Orleans Saints will hire Keith Williams as their new WR coach. He’ll join an almost entirely new offensive coaching staff for the Saints.

Williams has spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. He was an assistant WR coach for the Ravens in 2023 after spending the previous two campaigns as the team’s passing game coordinator. Prior to joining the Ravens, Williams spent three years as the WR coach at Nebraska from 2015 to 2017. He had been the WR coach at Tulane before that, serving in that role from 2012 to 2014.

Before coaching for the Green Wave, Williams was a WR coach at Fresno State from 2009 to 2011. Quarterback for those Bulldogs teams was Derek Carr (2009-2013), the current New Orleans signal caller.

Williams helped oversee the tremendous development of Baltimore rookie WR Zay Flowers last season. He’ll have a talented group in New Orleans. The Saints are led by two-time 1,000-yard receiver Chris Olave, gamebreaker Rashid Shaheed, and promising 2023 draft choice A.T. Perry. New Orleans ranked 11th in passing production last season.

Williams joins an offensive staff under newly hired coordinator Klint Kubiak and four other new additions to the staff.

Kubiak – Offensive Coordinator

Williams – WR coach

Andrew Janocko – QB coach

Derrick Foster – RB coach

John Benton – Offensive Line coach

Rick Dennison – Run Game Coordinator

Clancy Barone – TE coach

Jahri Evans – Offensive Line assistant

Kevin Petry – QB assistant
