Saints safety Marcus Williams has 10 career interceptions, and in 2019, 13 passes defensed. But, there is a weakness he said he needs to improve. Tackling.

Williams was blunt in his self assessment, with reporters Thursday.


Williams is in the final year of his four year rookie contract. He was a second round pick of the Saints in 2017. It was the same draft that produced cornerback Marshon Lattimore, offensive tackle Ryan Ramcyzk, and running back Alvin Kamara.

The Saints continue training camp at the club’s facility on Airline Drive. Cameras will be allowed in Monday when the club goes to full pads.

Wednesday, the Saints announced that no fans would be allowed in the Superdome for the club’s September 13th season opener against Tampa Bay.
