The article highlights the opening of NFL free agency, emphasizing the tracking of top players available for teams to sign. Milton Williams, a defensive tackle for the Eagles, is spotlighted as a potential standout free agent due to his combination of power and quickness, making him disruptive despite limited playing time. The piece notes the challenging projection for his performance since he hasn't played extensive snaps and compares him to Malik Jackson, who previously succeeded after being an underrated player on a strong defense.
Williams has never topped five sacks or 10 QB hits in a season, but he might be the biggest beneficiary of this thin free-agency class.
He can anchor more consistently in the run game, but he's disruptive as a penetrator and flashes the ability to handle double teams.
The trickiest part of Williams' projection: He's never played more than 50 percent of the snaps in a season while rotating as part of a deep D-line in Philadelphia.
In 2016, Malik Jackson was a lesser-known, productive defensive tackle on a loaded defense who shined while winning the Super Bowl.
