Milton Williams sees ‘a lot of myself' in this Patriots defensive lineman

The New England Patriots made a huge splash on Day 1 of NFL free agency to land Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams.

Williams was one of the best defensive players in the league last season and played a key role in the Eagles winning Super Bowl LIX over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old veteran signed a four-year, $104 million contract with the Patriots, making him the highest-paid player in team history based on annual average salary ($26 million).

Former Patriots edge rusher Chris Long recently interviewed Williams on his Green Light podcast.
