METAIRIE, La. -- Marcus Williams lived up to his reputation -- and then some.
The New Orleans Saints’ rookie safety, who was known for his ball skills in college, snagged his first NFL interception in Sunday’s 34-13 win at the Carolina Panthers. And, man, was it a spectacular one.
It came early in the fourth quarter. After the ball was tipped by both Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro, Williams dove toward the ground and barely reeled the ball in with one hand before it hit the turf.
