Mykel Williams, the 6'5", 260-pound defensive end from Georgia, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a compelling first-round prospect. Known for his robust run defense and versatile edge play, Williams recorded 14 sacks over three seasons, despite an injury-hampered 2024. His explosive first step and relentless motor make him a formidable presence on the line. However, his lack of elite speed and occasional slow stance release are areas for improvement. Compared to Jermaine Johnson, Williams' high floor as a run defender and potential as a pass rusher make him an ideal fit for teams employing odd or even fronts. His visits with multiple NFC West teams underscore his broad appeal and potential impact.
