In his first practice as a San Francisco 49er, Mykel Williams, the No. 11 draft pick, made a strong impression, demonstrating both skill and comfort in his new role. With defensive coordinator Robert Saleh observing, the rookie's performance came amid significant changes to the team’s defensive line, including the waiving of 2022 top pick Drake Jackson. Other rookies like Alfred Collins faced health issues, but overall, the minicamp provided critical exposure for these players to the team's systems and expectations for success in the upcoming season.
"By virtue of Williams' pedigree as the No. 11 overall draft pick, he indeed looked like the best player on the field, and he looked comfortable with that stature while casually grooving to the DJ's music."
"No expectations right now. They've got a long way to go with regards to understanding what we do, Saleh said. One, the standard at which we play, and the style of ball that we expect them to play."
