Mykel Williams becomes latest blue-chip edge prospect visiting Patriots before the NFL Draft

The New England Patriots keep adding blue-chip edge prospects to their list of 30 visits. The latest to come to Foxboro to meet with the team is Georgia’s Mykel Williams, a projected first-round selection later this month.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network was first to report the pre-draft visit.

Williams, 20, spent three seasons at Georgia and appeared in 40 games with 17 starts with 14 sacks and a trio of forced fumbles. His numbers never quite reached the upper echelon of edge defenders in college football, but he consistently made his presence felt even while he — by his own admission — was playing at only 60 percent in 2024.
