- Why Georgia Bulldog star is not participating in combine drills
Georgia Bulldogs defensive lineman Mykel Williams is not planning to participate in on-field drills at the 2025 NFL combine . Instead, Williams will focus on preparing for Georgia football's pro day, which will be in March.
Williams battled through an ankle injury during the 2024 college football season and did not feel fully healthy all season. He's taken some extra time to rest and recover from his injury, but is feeling much more healthy now.

"I decided to take the first two to three weeks (after the season) to rest my ankle and try to get it back under me," said Williams. "So that delayed my training, I got a late jump, and that's why I'm going pro day instead of combine."
Williams still managed to be productive for Georgia in 2024 despite his ankle injury. He missed just two games and recorded 21 tackles and five sacks. He is projected as a first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft and impressed NFL teams with his ability to play through a significant injury.
