The New Orleans Saints current defensive coordinator Greg Williams recently talked about his tie with quarterback Drew Brees. Out of our expectation, Williams said the link already existed nine years ago when Brees was waiting for a call from an NFL team in the 2001 NFL draft.
According to Williams, at that time he was still the coach for the Buffalo Bills and suggested the team trade up to pick Brees at the beginning of second round as they already drafted defensive back Nate Clements in first round. However the Bills failed to find a buyer of their 46th overall pick and had to see the San Diego Chargers pick Brees away with the 32nd overall pick. As a result, the Bills drafted defensive end Aaron Schoebel with 46th pick. Williams was so mad with losing the right to pick Brees that he jumped up and down and almost pulled a hamstring.
Since then, Williams had wished for a chance to work with Brees in the same team. The Bills did have a quarterback with name Drew in 2002, but it was Drew Bledsoe. Three years after Brees put on Saints jersey, Williams finally had his wish come true to work with Brees for the Saints. What a happy ending!
