A significant part of the 2024 team was junior Mykel Williams.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Bay Packers appear to have taken noticed based on the latest NFL draft rumors. Williams ended the season with 21 tackles (15 solo and 6 assisted), 5 sacks, and 2 forced fumbles.<\/p>\n<p>The defender declared for the NFL draft on Jan. 6 and is projected to be a first-round pick.<\/p>\n<p>With the NFL draft less than one month away, Williams is reportedly going to visit the Green Bay Packers. Despite pushing through an ankle injury most of the season, the 6-foot-5, 265-pound EDGE&#8217;s play piqued the interest of the team with the No. 23 overall pick in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers&#8217; interest in the EDGE comes even after a pro day performance that was &#8220;well below expectations,&#8221; in the words of ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller. The Draft Network&#8217;s Ryan Fowler reported that the Packers will host Williams for one of the team&#8217;s 30 available visits with prospects ahead of the NFL draft.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Last week, Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams had scouts asking questions after his pro day workout,&#8221; Miller wrote on March 21. &#8220;Weighing in at 267 pounds, Williams was timed at 4.75 seconds in the 40-yard dash. That&#8217;s well below expectations given his reputation as a high-level mover.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"tl\" dir=\"ltr\">AGTG \u2764\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ohMOklOvZV\">pic.twitter.com\/ohMOklOvZV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mykel Williams (@MykelWilliams_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MykelWilliams_\/status\/1876377095380861381?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Citing his ankle injury, Williams refrained from participating in the NFL combine.
