49ers select Mykel Williams-DE-Georgia with the 11th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft | Page 84

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. Uses his violent hands and long limbs to put Miller in a blender.

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. Violent block shedder when runs come his way. pic.twitter.com/BTQZIFoYL5— Matt Lane (@Matty_KCSN) February 16, 2025https://twitter.com/PanthersAnalyst/status/1914170110455194102

Mykel is getting better every snap. His selfless play isn't getting enough love. Dude took the center and right guard AGAIN on the game-ending sack by Bryce Huff.

Is it just going to be an interior rusher on passing down?

Take anything you can get. He's very raw.

It is all about production. I don't have a problem if he developed into a productive interior rusher on passing down.

It just seems like he may not have the speed and bend to be a very good edge rusher.

This is exactly what should happen every time when a tight end is matched up against a massive end like Mykel. Absolutely mogs the tight end and then goes after the ball carrier for the tackle.

This is how I envisioned him when we drafted him. Georgia coaches their players well. Hopefully he has a good head on his shoulders unlike other Georgia players

Manhandling a NFL player at 21 is crazy
