FREE AGENT: Former Syracuse University safety Trill Williams, he versatile 6-foot and 208-pound safety from Yonkers went undrafted and was the highest-rated safety and No. 8 overall player on ESPN’s best available list as the seventh and final round wrapped up.

Trill Williams signed with the New Orleans Saints as a free agent on Saturday night moments after the NFL Draft ended.

Syracuse punter Nolan Cooney also signed a free agent contract with the Saints soon after the draft concluded.

Trill Williams finished his SU career with four interceptions and three forced fumbles in 28 games.

He opted out midway through his junior season this past fall to undergo ankle surgery after attempting to play through a torn ligament.

He scored touchdowns on a punt return, interception, and fumble recovery during his three SU seasons.

Trill Williams could eventually contribute as a safety or cornerback and would likely begin on special teams for the Saints if he can secure a regular-season roster spot during summer training camp.
