NFL experts agree on bold Mykel Williams prediction
San Francisco 49ers rookie first-round draft pick Mykel Williams enters his first season in the NFL with high expectations. Williams never recorded more than five sacks during one season with the Georgia Bulldogs, but that did not stop the 49ers from drafting Williams with the No. 11 pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Williams has a chance to immediately start for a San Francisco defense that features All-Pros like linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Bosa. Williams' ability to stop the run gives him a low floor in the NFL as long as he can stay healthy.
