Eagles draft super-athletic DT Milton Williams in the third-round

The third round of the NFL Draft fell perfectly into the laps of the Philadelphia Eagles. With a plethora of defensive options available, it should come as no surprise that the team stayed on-brand to stack the trenches and reload the DT position. Milton Williams out of Louisiana Tech will make his way to Philadelphia after a quirky trade from Howie Roseman saw the team drop back 3 spots and pick up an extra sixth-rounder.

The Player

At 6’3, 284 lbs, Milton is on the lighter side of defensive tackles, but don’t let that fool you.
