49ers select Mykel Williams-DE-Georgia with the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft | Page 154

Phoenix49ers · 2025-04-24T18:24:13-07:00

Big, powerful edge to form a bookend to Bosa. Still only 20 years old with a lot of room for further development, especially as a pass rusher. Working with Bosa and going up against Trent Williams will do him a lot of good. The newest DAWG in San Francisco ??@MykelWilliams_ is a 49er#GoDawgs | #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/x3yenBlnBj— Georgia Football (@GeorgiaFootball) April 25, 2025#Georgia EDGE Mykel Williams (6-5, 265)Lengthy frame, violent hands. NFL ready run defender. Asset on twists/stunts. Moving to OLB full-time next season. Turns 20 years old this month. pic.twitter.com/NykOfiHwEA— Jordan Reid (@Jordan_Reid) June 15, 2024Mykel Williams is DOMINANT in the run game with high pass rush upside🐶 pic.twitter.com/o82AQZfLqn— PFF College (@PFF_College) April 24, 2025Not only can Mykel Williams reduce inside of TEs as a big 5, he played 4i in college at a high level working on G and T in interior gaps. You need guys who can free up your safeties and keep them in space. He will do that, if you're scared off by the rawness of Stewart https://t.co/cCxv7kRbJg pic.twitter.com/nBWmS23Osy— Max Toscano (@maxtoscano1) April 23, 2025Georgia's Mykel Williams gets the strip-sack on Quinn Ewers while working against left tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. Banks replaces his hands quickly after Williams' swipe, but the DE already has the angle through the LT's outside shoulder. #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2025 #2025NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/6Jv78IwO7C— Sam Teets (@Sam_Teets33) October 21, 2024Mykel Williams lined up in a 4i here against Miller.

Maximizes length to great efficiency & hands have a ton of power to disrupt & drive blockers backwards. Fantastic run defender playing through extension & holding the PoA.

Wow, he does appear to be leaner than last year. He's moving surprisingly well! Dude was massive last season. Not necessarily in a sloppy way either, but he looked like he was pushing 280. Trimming down should help him at edge this season. He looks quicker and looser limbed.

maybe I'm being misled by my optimism, but he looks damn good in his drills! His hand and feet are tied together. He's stepping through with that inside foot. I've always felt it's just a matter of time until he's good. Who knows if it'll be this season, but he looks good in those drills. I'm so pumped to see him back on the field.

Oh goodness we could use him on this line. I'm so excited.

To me he looks as good as how Bosa looked in drills before the injury this year and Bosa was playing great to start off the year.

God please just get us healthy for the playoffs.

If we get guys back who are supposed to come back and we can stop losing others this team can take it all the way.

As well as the defense has been playing they've been missing Mykel all year and Nick for a few games now. Plus as they get more comfortable with Raheem's scheme they should get even better!

Watching this team win and thinking "Geez if we had Bosa, Mykell, Collins, West, Thompson Jr., Martin added to the D. Pearsall, Stribling, Kirk, Robinson, Tonges added to the offense HOLY CRAP we would be really really good." The encouraging part is aside from Pearsall, Tonges and Collins these guys are coming back at some point.

Looking forward to see him build off of last year. Hopefully the ACL injury didn't cause any significant setbacks as far as development

He looks very fluid for sure. He kinda reminds me so much of JPP.

He looks good in the drills but those bags and sleds don't move or hit back. Let's hope it translates to the actual games.

Drills tell you a lot if you're a DL guy and know what to look for. They're the foundation of working the craft that carries over into real action.

There was a lot of pause about Bosa coming off the ACL, but I could tell he was going to be back to himself immediately by the way he was moving from the very first clip of him from camp working drills.

Mykel looks real good.
