Georgia Bulldogs star defensive end Mykel Williams is turning heads once again, this time with a scheduled pre-draft visit to the Seattle Seahawks—an indication that the powerhouse pass rusher may be climbing up NFL draft boards. The 6’5”, 265-pound edge threat has been a standout presence on Georgia’s defense since his freshman year, racking up 14 sacks across three seasons and playing a crucial role in back-to-back national championship wins in 2022 and 2023.
Though the 2024 season saw a dip in production due to a lingering foot injury and heavy competition on Georgia’s deep defensive line, scouts remain captivated by Williams’ raw physical tools, explosiveness off the line, and ability to disrupt the pocket. NFL teams see tremendous upside, and Seattle appears particularly intrigued. Reports suggest that Williams has also drawn significant attention from the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals, both of whom are assessing pass-rush options in the first round.
With his draft stock on the rise, Williams’ visit to the Seahawks has sparked speculation that he could be a surprise mid-to-late first-round pick. As draft day nears, fans are eager to see where the Bulldog beast lands—and whether his next sack will come in a Seahawks jersey.
