The New Orleans Saints are close to completing their new offensive staff. Their newest piece is the wide receivers coach. Klint Kubiak is making major decisions as the new offensive coordinator. 

According to Nick Underhill, the Saints have hired Keith Williams to be their WRs coach. It is a two-year deal for him.

Williams was the Baltimore Ravens WRs coach last season. He also coached wideouts at Tulane from 2012-2014, so he has connections with New Orleans. 

Williams has been on Baltimore's staff the past three seasons, spending the first two years as passing game specialist before assuming the role of assistant wide receivers coach in 2023.

He also worked as a personal wide receivers coach for a number of top NFL wideouts, including Pro Bowl wideouts Tyreek Hill and Davante Adams.

Williams is extremely well-respected around the league. The Saints made another solid hire for their offense.
