Detroit Lions rookie defensive tackle Tyleik Williams is already beginning to turn heads at training camp, with 97.1 FM's Will Burchfield reporting that Williams has already received a very endearing nickname courtesy head coach Dan Campbell: "Baby Mac."
That nickname, of course, is a comparison to Alim McNeill, one of several Lions defenders injured at the moment and not expected back to begin the 2025 season for Detroit. Williams is suddenly rising on the defensive linemen depth chart for Detroit as injuries continue to wreak havoc on the room: first McNeill, then Josh Paschall, and finally Levi Onwuzurike.
