Saints’ newest RB Jamaal Williams scores big with fans by mixing football with Pokémon in hilarious press conference

Jamaal Williams, the latest addition to the New Orleans Saints roster, has made quite the impression with his unique blend of football prowess and Pokémon knowledge. 

He recently made headlines for donning a hat resembling the popular creature Eevee during a press conference, leading to an impromptu lesson on the many evolutions of the beloved character

The Saints were eager to sign Williams to add a much-needed boost to their offense, and he has not disappointed. With his undeniable energy and impressive production, Williams has quickly become a key player for the team.

What did Jamaal Williams say about Pokémon?

Sporting a hat adorned with the popular Pokémon Eevee, Williams was more than happy to educate the uninformed reporter on the many forms of this beloved creature. With his trademark enthusiasm, Williams explained that Eevee can evolve into eight different types of Pokémon, including Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon.

“So it’s basically a cat. This is how they start off though,” Williams said pointing to his Eevee hat. “But Eevee can evolve into like eight different types of Pokémon. Eevee though, E-E-V-E-E.”
