Former Eagles Hero Named Top Signing of Offseason

Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams was never really given the chance to be the focal point in the organization's defensive line.

When the former Lousiana Tech product was first drafted in the third round of the 2021 Draft, he was a role player behind Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave. Once Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis rolled around, Williams was seen as a key starter, but not "THE guy" in Philly's defense.

Now he gets the chance to finally be that top player.
