The 2025 NFL Draft is upon us, and so is your need to be prepared for all of tomorrow’s stars. Dive into our spotlight on Tyleik Williams, featuring his scouting report, strengths and weaknesses, his recent draft projection, and where all the experts predict he could land.
Tyleik Williams’ NFL Draft Scouting Report
Tyleik Williams is an exciting defensive tackle prospect who possesses the kind of raw athleticism and physical tools that will get NFL decision makers excited. He is a highly disruptive run defender and is nearly impossible to block 1-on-1.
In the passing game, Williams primarily wins with his bull rush and overall motor, but he can convert speed to power, collapse the pocket, or stunt across alignments and penetrate gaps. Williams makes a ton of plays late in the down, as he never stops working even when his initial rush is stymied.
However, he does lack length, which hurts his ability to finish and pry through extensions at times. Williams must develop consistent hand counters to keep his chest clear as a rusher, but he projects as a high-upside run defender with similar potential in the passing game, and he brings inbuilt alignment versatility from 1-tech all the way to 5-tech on early downs.
Tyleik Williams’ NFL Draft Projection
In CSN’s 7-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft from April 12, Williams landed in Round 1 with the 30th overall pick. James Fragoza has this to say:
The Bills need a massive two-gap run defender, and Tyleik Williams fits the bill at 6’3″ and 334 pounds. His pass-rush ceiling may be limited, but his high floor—thanks to his raw strength—makes him a dependable anchor on the defensive line.
And in CSN’s recent 3-Round 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Brian Burden had this to say about Williams’ selection to the Philadelphia Eagles in Round 2 with the 64th pick:
Tyleik Williams played at an All-American level the past two seasons in Columbus. He posted 46 tackles, including eight for loss, and had 2.5 sacks for Ohio State. His presence only enhances a disruptive Eagles front line that will again be a nuisance to opposing lines and quarterbacks this fall.
