PHILADELPHIA – Buckle up, Eagles fans, because the 2025 NFL Draft might just drop a stunner! With the 32nd pick in Round 1—earned after their Super Bowl LIX domination (40-22 over the Chiefs)—mock drafts are buzzing that the Philadelphia Eagles could snag Ohio State defensive tackle Tyleik Williams. Could he be the next Jalen Carter and turn Philly’s D-line into an unstoppable force?
Williams, a 6’3”, 327-pound beast, racked up 11.5 sacks and 28 tackles for loss in 51 games at Ohio State, numbers that echo Carter’s college havoc (6 sacks, 18.5 TFLs in 35 games at Georgia). Like Carter, he’s a powerhouse who can bull-rush pockets and clog run lanes, but he’s also versatile—sliding from 1-tech to 5-tech with ease. Picture this: Williams next to Carter and Jordan Davis in Vic Fangio’s scheme, a trio that could suffocate QBs and RBs alike. Fangio loves chaos up front, and Williams’ high motor fits like a glove.
Sure, he’s not the pass-rush wizard Carter is yet—Carter’s got 4.5 sacks this season alone—but Williams’ run-stuffing chops could replace Milton Williams (a 2025 free agent) and keep the Eagles’ D-line elite. Fan chatter on X is wild: “Tyleik with Jalen? That’s a nightmare!” one posted. Another argued, “Rather grab an edge, but he’s tempting.”
This draft pick could cement a dynasty. Is Williams Carter 2.0? You decide—drop your take below!
