During a recent press conference, Jamaal Williams, the running back for the New Orleans Saints, gave reporters an explanation about what Eevee is from the Pokemon series. While Pokemon has become one of the most popular media franchises in the world, not everyone is aware of all the pocket monsters seen in the games and anime. However, Jamaal Williams is doing his best to try and change that.

As more people start to play video games, it is becoming increasingly common to see star athletes express their love for certain franchises in the gaming world. Jamaal Williams is one notable name that often shows his passion for gaming, specifically the Pokemon series. Recently, he put his knowledge of the franchise to good use while talking to some members of the media.

In a video uploaded by the official New Orleans Saints TikTok, Jamaal Williams explained to reporters what Eevee is. While Eevee is one of the most popular Pokemon in the franchise, at least one person in attendance at the press conference wanted to know more about the pocket monster, and the NFL star was happy to oblige. The discussion likely started based on the Eevee-themed cap that Williams was wearing.

To begin his explanation, Williams said that Eevee is “basically a cat.” While he could have stopped there, he continued, giving more details about the Pokemon. He pointed to the cap on his head to help illustrate what Eevee starts off looking like. The NFL player then explained that the Pokemon has the ability to evolve, noting that there are eight evolutions in total. The brief Eevee lecture ended with Williams emphasizing the spelling of the Pokemon.

Fellow Pokemon fans on the internet have enjoyed this educational clip from Williams where he explained Eevee and its evolutions to a reporter. Since the clip was posted to TikTok, over 527K people have watched the video, with more than 68.7K giving it a like. Among the comments, many fans stated that they enjoyed Williams’ passion for the Pokemon franchise. Furthermore, some claimed he is the most entertaining player on the New Orleans Saints roster.

It is worth pointing out that Williams has had Pokemon-related discussions with reporters in the past. In fact, the NFL star previously corrected a press member for mispronouncing the word “Pokemon” while asking a question. In addition, Williams has shown up to a press conference wearing a Gengar beanie, another overt show of his love for the series. It will be interesting to see if Williams decides to talk about more Pokemon during future press conferences.
