The NFL draft is weeks away and the Arizona Cardinals are preparing for the 2025 NFL draft and part of that process is bringing in up to 30 player prospects for official visits at the team facility, meeting extensively with them and sometimes even eating dinner. The Cardinals have held some such visits already and have some visits planned with some big names.
According to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, after saying on the PHNX Cardinals podcast that the Cardinals had met with Georgia pass rusher Jalon Walker and were going to meet with Tennesee's James Pearce, he also said the Cardinals would have a top-30 meeting the other of Georgia's pass rushers, Mykel Williams.
Williams had five sacks and nine tackles for loss in 2024, playing in 12 games. He played banged up for part of the season with an ankle injury. He looks the part with his build at 6-foot-5 and 260 pounds with over 34-inch arms. He is big, strong and athletic.
However, as the guy that should have had great production in his final year in college, he wasn't dominant. However, he did exactly what he was coached to do and plays excellent against the run.
He has been projected to be drafted as high as in the top 10, but always in the first round.
He certainly would fit the profile of player the Cardinals like and could be the guy at No. 16 overall.
