49ers select Mykel Williams-DE-Georgia with the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft | Page 166

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.

This is the answer.

As long as his knee hasn't fallen off, I think he'll be playing this Sunday. He looked ok walking after the Washington game.

Jenniferleechan said she spoke to Mykel and his patellar tendon is abit sore but thinks he should be fine. Though like achilles I hate the word Patellar.

I just hope the Electrical Substation Gods are again merciful this Sunday, i.e. no season ending injuries.

Mykel said his patellar tendon is sore lol? He probably said my knee is sore and rightfully so, dude has a ACL restructuring (and more). He will be doing light work all yr when practicing.

It is a short week after a MNF game...I would rest his knee regardless of how he feels and just play on game day if he can go.

Do people even know WHERE the ACL is located lol? It's INSIDE your knee, behind the knee cap. His patellar tendon being sore has nothing to do with a set back from the ACL, if anything, sometimes when repairing the ACL they cut out the middle 1/3 of the patellar tendon and use it to reattach the ACL, if that's the type of procedure he got, it would make sense why his patellar tendon is sore but has zero bearing on the repaired ACL.

Agreed. I feel like speculation combined with criticism can get confusing at times. Is he being brought back too soon, or are they simply managing a player that is coming off a big injury? We don't really have an answer for that.

He was brought back like 10 1/2 months after surgery. It's usually a 9 month recovery for a torn acl. Bringing him back early would be week 1.

exactly Mykell said he wanted to play week 1 but 49ers took it slow and said they would rather put him on PUP thats why he played his first eligeible game he felt he was ready week 1 but they took it slow

Out of curiosity, what exactly makes you think this?
