Mykel Williams

Outstanding frame with good height and elite length. Athletic build. Wears mass well and owns ample space for more bulk.

Terrorizes offenses from various front-line spots. Stands on the edge, drops a hand in the dirt, and also moves inside, at times in a four-point stance. Will fit myriad personnel looks with ability to play a variety of roles thanks to physical tools.

Shows consistently good snap anticipation and couples with explosive first step. Initiates contact with heavy-handed violence and terrific functional athleticism. Displays chase-down pursuit athleticism with elite closing speed relative to size. Plays with better-than-expected leverage given height and long levers.

Most dominant player at 2022 All-American Bowl week. Regularly beat elite offensive linemen in practice 1-on-1 reps and recorded three TFL in the game. Gets blockers on their heels and finishes them with hand violence and power. Flashes consistent stack-and-shed disengaging strength vs. larger offensive linemen.

Shows encouraging dip-and-bend ability off the edge. Strong production with double-digit sacks three consecutive seasons (40-plus in all). Move set still a work in progress but promising. Gets caught with his eyes in the backfield on occasion but recovers with athleticism, power, and reach.

Possesses immense strength capacity given physical specs. Pass rusher by nature but physique and frame space to become a full-time 3- or 5-tech type if desired. Still, athleticism and length could dictate a permanent jumbo edge player. Regardless of alignment, projects to the high-major level as a likely immediate contributor who becomes an impact player with long-term high-round NFL Draft potential.
