While the 2024 college football season ultimately did not go the way that many football fans in Athens had hoped, that’s not to say that all is lost for the Georgia Bulldogs’ football team, with several former UGA stars expected to go early in April’s NFL Draft.
Among those stars is former Georgia defensive lineman Mykel Williams, who finished his three-year run at the SEC powerhouse program with 67 tackles, 23 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, and three forced fumbles, earning him two second-team All-SEC honors.
That skill in the trenches has earned Williams a spot on ESPN draft insider Field Yates’ latest mock draft, with the former UGA star going seventh overall to the Seattle Seahawks, while Mel Kiper has Williams listed as the 15th-best prospect in the draft class of 2025.
With the Super Bowl over, our attention can shift towards the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. At BetGeorgia.com, we broke from our typical Georgia sports betting coverage and developed odds projecting what NFL team will draft Georgia’s Mykel Williams.
