The defensive line of Detroit Lions obtains reinforcements.
The Lions used the overall choice n ° 28 in the first round of the NFL draft Thursday evening to add the defensive platform Tyleik Williams.
A two-year-old for Buckeyes, Williams (6-3, 334) played mainly in the three techniques for the defense of Buckeyes and was an defender and an elite disruptor. The last two seasons that he has combined for 100 plated, 18.0 plated for loss and 5.5 bags. It is a great production of an interior defender with three techniques.
He is now joining a defensive platform rotation of the lions which includes Alim McNeill, DJ Reader, Levi Onwuzurike, Roy Lopez, Mekhi Wingo, Pat O’Connor and others. McNeill, who suffered an LCA torn in mid-December, may not be ready for the start of the season, so Williams gives Detroit an active interior defender who is a great rusher of power.
Where Williams really has a chance to shine very early for the Lions, it is the first and the second bottom as a race defender. He has agile feet for a player of his size and 46 plated as DT last season means that he is still around the ball. He is fortunate to be a very good interior presence for the defense of Detroit in 2025 and beyond.
