Jamaal Williams has officially joined the New Orleans Saints after spending the last two seasons with the Detroit Lions. Williams agreed to a three-year, $12-million deal, with $8.15 million guaranteed, keeping him in "The Big Easy" until 2026.
2022 was a career year for Williams, leading the NFL in rushing TDs (17) and contributing to the Lions' first winning season since 2017.
Williams doesn't bring just his hard running style to the Saints. He is a huge source of energy and a tremendous leader. He is already showcasing his personality to the Saints fans.
One of a Kind Personality
Jamaal Williams has become a fan favorite for all NFL fans. A big reason why is his infectious personality brings every day. During his introductory press conference with the Saints, he kept things light and barely talked about football. He was just having fun talking about pop culture, beignets and how excited he was.
Williams is clearly ecstatic to be in New Orleans. Saints fans will get plenty more of these all-time quotes during Jamaal Williams' time with the team, just as Packers and Lions fans did.
What To Expect From Jamaal Williams in 2023
In his six NFL seasons, Williams has rushed for 3,652 yards, 30 touchdowns and 216 first downs. In his first full season of being the lead back in 2022, he had his first 1,000-yard season.
The Saints rushed 27.4 times per game last season but focused more on the run game down the stretch. That number could increase with Williams sharing the backfield with Alvin Kamara, an elite pass-catcher. Derek Carr, also applauded for his leadership during his time as a Raider, will be under the center for the Saints this season. Though the NFL schedule has yet to be released, the Saints will likely kick off their 2023 season on Sunday, Sept. 10.
Mayfield Sports has had the pleasure of booking Jamaal Williams since his Packers days and looks forward to continuing to work together in New Orleans.

The Green Bay Packers have not been too active in free agency. However, they prioritized bringing back one of their 2022 standouts; All-Pro kick returner and cornerback Keisean Nixon.
Nixon's new contract is a one-year/$4 million deal. The deal has four void years meaning that while he will be paid past 2023, he will be an unrestricted free agent in 2024. It has been a long time since Green Bay has had an electric kick returner, so if Nixon has another All-Pro caliber season, he may be brought back again on a more long-term basis.
Keisean Nixon's NFL Career
2022 was Nixon's first season with the Green Bay Packers. He spent the last three seasons with the Raiders in both Oakland and Las Vegas. He played 692 snaps on special teams in three seasons with the Raiders. When Rich Bisaccia was hired as the special team coordinator Keisean Nixon signed with the Packers. Although he did not start the year off as the team's primary kick returner, he never looked back after getting the job.
Nixon became the full-time kick returner in Week 8 and made an instant impact. Despite not getting the job until halfway through the year, he finished the season with 1,009 kick return yards, leading the NFL. As a Packer, Nixon also made an impact on defense. Injuries in the secondary led to more playing time at cornerback, and Nixon filled in well. He started four games and recorded one interception, two passes defended, 28 tackles, and one tackle for a loss.
Keisean Nixon: The Future of the Packers' Special Teams
With news that team veterans Aaron Rodgers, Randall Cobb, and Allen Lazard could all be out the door and heading to New York, Green Bay is going through a transitioning period. Nixon will join the likes of RBs AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones, plus WR Christian Watson, as some of the only proven play-makers on the Packers.
With Bisaccia still running the special teams, it'll be in his and Nixon's hands to set up new Packers starting QB Jordan Love with good field position. Expect another difference-making big season from Keisean Nixon in Green Bay!

Allen Lazard, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver, has found himself a new home. After playing the first five seasons of his career for the Green Bay Packers, Lazard decided to test free agency. As it turns out, the Allen Lazard contract was one of the highest-paying among 2023 NFL free agents.
Allen Lazard Inks New Contract With the New York Jets
Jordan Schultz reports that Lazard has agreed to a four-year deal worth $44M and $22M of that guaranteed with the New York Jets. Lazard leaves Green Bay after four seasons and is now taking the next step in his career.
The 27-year-old Lazard caught 169 passes for 2,236 yards and 20 touchdowns in his five seasons with the Packers. Lazard got better as the years went on and had a career season in 2022 as a go-to target for Aaron Rodgers in the Packers' offense.
Allen Lazard is known for doing the dirty work on the field consistently. He has become one of the best blocking wide receivers in the NFL. Lazard has been seen consistently blocking his defender 10-15 yards past the line of scrimmage. The NFL certainly recognized his game and paid him accordingly.
New Allen Lazard Contract Followed By Commitment from Aaron Rodgers
The Allen Lazard contract is not the only exciting news for the New York Jets franchise and its fans. On the March 15 edition of the "Pat McAfee Show," Rodgers confirmed that he intends to play for the New York Jets in 2023.
The future Hall-of-Famer, spoke glowingly about Lazard during the interview, sharing his appreciation for the receiver's work ethic and leadership in the locker room.
This pending reunion with Rodgers also comes with regrouping with the former Packers offensive coordinator, Nathaniel Hackett. In 2021, under the direction of Hackett in the gold zone, Lazard posted a career-high eight TDs on just 60 targets.
The new Allen Lazard contract has the veteran joining a talented receiver room led by Garrett Wilson, the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year. Expect a big season from the Lazard-Rodgers connection and many memorable moments along the way in 2023.

The Green Bay Packers will have a lot of decisions to make this offseason. Aaron Rodgers will headline many of those decisions. However, there are multiple Packers free agents the team will need back to be successful in 2023. WR Allen Lazard, DB/KR Keisean Nixon, and S Rudy Ford are three of those players. Here is why the Green Bay Packers need to bring back all three for next season.
Packers Free Agent: Wide Receiver Allen Lazard
Allen Lazard is an ideal fit in Green Bay. His consistent ability to make plays on third down and in the red zone meshes perfectly with his willingness and ability as a do-it-all blocker in the run game. Over his first five seasons in the NFL, Lazard has recorded 169 receptions, 2,236 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns. While there is a ton of excitement for the future of Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs, Allen Lazard provides that veteran, reliable, do-it-all type of play that is hard to replace. Lazard will certainly be looking for a long-term deal with the next team he signs with, something the Packers certainly need to make a priority.
Standout Defensive Back/Kick Returner Keisean Nixon
Would anyone even disagree with this one? Keisean Nixon almost single-handedly turned around the Packers' special teams. In a matter of weeks, he became an instant fan favorite. No player had more kick return yards than Nixon this year â he had 1,009. Nixon ranked second in kick return average, averaging 28.8 yards per return. His longest return was a 105-yard touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings. The week prior, he had a 93-yard return against the Miami Dolphins. The result? He was named First-Team All-Pro and earned every bit of it. Keisean Nixon needs to needs to be at the top of Green Bay's priorities when it comes to Packers free agents during the 2023 off-season.
Packers Free Agent: Safety Rudy Ford
Veteran Adrian Amos has a voiding contract, and Darnell Savage is entering the final year of his rookie deal. Rudy Ford is another gem of a find for General Manager Brian Gutekunst. The Packers initially signed Ford to help out the special teams unit after its disaster in 2021. He contributed there early but found his way into action at safety during the season. The highlight of 2022 for Ford was his two interceptions in the Packersâ win over Dallas. Despite some inconsistencies, heâs grown in the Joe Barry defense. Heading into an offseason where the safety position is one of the biggest question marks, re-signing Rudy Ford is a priority for this defense.

When the Packers drafted Rashan Gary, he was sitting behind Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith on the depth chart. However, he has quickly become one of the best defensive players on the team and is on his way to becoming one of the best defenders in the NFL. The Rashan Gary stats are just one reflection of the work he puts in during the offseason, constantly training and running drills to perfect his craft.
Background
Rashan Gary was born on Dec. 3, 1997, in Plainfield, N.J. He went to high school at Scotch Plains-Fanwood but transferred to Paramus Catholic. Gary was a multi-sport athlete at Paramus Catholic, playing basketball and football. He became a five-star recruit for football over the course of his high school career. Not only was he a five-star, but he was also the No. 1 ranked player in the country for his high school class. Gary went on to play football at the University of Michigan.
Rashan Gary Stats & College Career At Michigan
Rashan went to college with the weight of expectations on him. But those expectations are what come with being the No. 1 player in the country coming out of high school. Gary played three seasons at the University of Michigan under Jim Harbaugh.
His stats included:
- 34 games
- 119 tackles
- 23.0 tackles for a loss
- 9.5 sacks
- 1 forced fumble
Gary's stats do not reflect the impact he had on the field. After his junior year, he decided to enter the NFL draft. Early mock drafts had Gary getting drafted as high as the top five picks.
Rashan Gary Stats & Packers Career (So Far)
The Packers missed the playoffs in 2018, so they were in fairly unfamiliar territory drafting at number 12. However, they did not hesitate to pull the trigger on the former Wolverine. At the time of the pick, many were unsure how Gary would fit into the puzzle that was the Packers' defense. The team had just dished out large contracts to free-agent pass rushers Preston Smith and Za'Darius Smith. Gary, at first, became a rotational piece on the Packers' defense.
However, in 2020 Gary started four games due to injuries. Gary recorded 5.0 sacks in 2020. In 2021 Za'Darius Smith missed the entire regular season with an injury which made Gary a full-time starter. 2021 ended up being his best season as a pro and was good enough for the Packers to be comfortable with moving on from Za'Darius Smith.
Rashan Gary Stats (2021)
- 9.5 sacks
- 47 tackles
- 8 tackles for a loss
- 28 quarterback hits
- 2 forced fumbles
Gary began 2022 as a starter and was off to a phenomenal start. In just nine games, he had 6.0 sacks and was on pace to set a career-high in sacks, tackles, tackles for a loss, and quarterback hits. Unfortunately, Gary tore his ACL against the Detroit Lions in Week 9. The Packers missed his presence greatly for the rest of the season. Gary will look to bounce back in 2023 and have his best season as a pro.

Professional athletes and coaches make some of the best motivators for company employees. Running a great company requires having great employees. Knowing how to motivate employees to do the job, and do it correctly, is a direct responsibility of the managers and owners of that company.
Here is why bringing in professional athletes and coaches to talk to your employees could make a drastic difference in what you see in return from your employees.
Perseverance
Coaches and athletes are ingrained with determination to achieve their goals. Taking those traits from the field to the boardroom makes any goal attainable your company may have as a result. In the workplace, the best employees subsequently never give up and always find a way to overcome obstacles. Failing will be a part of any corporation or business. Dealing with loss is something coaches, and athletes overcome every single season. When they struggle with performance, athletes will dedicate extra time to practice until they improve. Learning this trait can be how to motivate employees to prevent the same mistake from ever happening twice.
Knowing How To Motivate Employees to Put the Team First
Any corporation or business needs employees to have a "team first" mentality. A team-first mentality is about looking at your employees and viewing them as living, breathing organisms. An organism can live in a healthy manner if each of its organs is functioning and contributing to its overall health.Â
Coaches and athletes certainly understand that team goals always trump individual needs. Being part of a team means a serious commitment to the group. Personal sacrifices come with the territory. For athletes, that may mean giving up weekends for practice or maintaining a strict training diet. Applying that same mentality to the workplace establishes a commitment to achieving goals. Rewarding employees who carry these traits with more pay or time off (when able) will go a long way in answering the question, "how to motivate employees."Â
Handling Criticism
Becoming coachable consequently lets you take an objective look at your strengths and weaknesses in all areas of your life. Athletes and coaches have taken constructive criticism (and sometimes not so constructive) throughout their careers. Explaining to your employees that this type of criticism is in an attempt to better themselves, not degrade them, is vital to long-term success. Managers who know they can provide direct and honest feedback to their employees without worrying about hurting feelings, or losing productivity for the day, allow for quick solutions to problems that may arise as a result.
Start taking the first step in answering "how to motivate employees" by booking a professional athlete or coach to speak to your staff today with the help of Mayfield Sports Marketing.

The Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 to win Super Bowl LVII. It was an incredibly exciting game, a back-and-forth affair that reminded fans why the NFL reigns supreme among American sports. The win also means that former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (MVS) and former Wisconsin Badgers linebacker Leo Chenal are now Chiefs Super Bowl Champions.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling Helps Guide Chiefs to Super Bowl
While MVS did not record a catch on one target in Super Bowl LVII, he played a major role in the Chiefsâ offense all season. He recorded a career-high 42 receptions, and his 687 receiving yards were the second-most of his career (690 in 2020).
MVS was crucial in getting the Chiefs to the Super Bowl with his performance against Cincinnati in the AFC Championship. MVS had six receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown in that contest.
Leo Chenal: Badgers Standout to Chiefs Super Bowl Impact Player
The Kansas City Chiefs drafted Leo Chenal in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He spent most of the season in a reserve role, recording 19 tackles and a sack. However, he saved the biggest performance of his rookie season for the Super Bowl.
Against the Eagles, Chenal recorded six tackles and a sack. Amazingly, Chenal did not record a tackle in any of the Chiefsâ prior playoff games this postseason. His stunning performance in Super Bowl LVII is subsequently a sign of great things to come for the young linebacker.
