Tyleik Williams NFL Draft 2025: Scouting Report for Ohio State DL

HEIGHT: 6'3"
WEIGHT: 327
POSITIVES
— Good movement skills for his size, giving him a higher ceiling as a prospect.
— Impressive upper-body strength to stand up offensive linemen at the line of scrimmage, get extension and gain control of the block.
— Has little to no issues shedding or getting off blocks when he lands his hands.
— Solid at collapsing the pocket with a bull rush with his leg drive and strength.
— Has flashed a few pass-rush moves that he can win with, such as rip, swim, hand-swipe, and stick moves.
— Gets his hands up and can bat passes at the line of scrimmage when he doesn't win as a rusher.
NEGATIVES
— Inconsistent overall. Shows flashes of brilliance and then gets beat too much for someone of his caliber.
— Has a habit of false stepping or hopping out of his stance, contributing to poor pad level, which makes it more difficult for him to take on double-teams and impacts the consistency of his bull rush.
— Bad block recognition and doesn't put himself in a good position to take on blocks, especially against down-blocks and double-teams/combos where he gets caught off-guard and kicked out of his gap.
— Still learning how to use and be more consistent with his use of hands as a pass-rusher and run defender. He's often late and has wide placement with his hands.
— Appears to have shorter arms, limiting his extension when taking on blocks, which could be a bigger issue in the NFL.

OVERALL
Potential is the best way to describe Tyleik Williams as an NFL draft prospect. His combination of size, strength and athleticism gives him a high ceiling, but inconsistency is his biggest issue. He'll have eye-popping reps on film and then get beat on similar reps later in the same game. With that being said, his traits are pretty impressive.
Williams shows plenty of strength at the point of attack to win at the line of scrimmage. That helps him get off blocks against the run and collapse the pocket when bull-rushing. However, his measurables during the predraft process will be important. He appears to have shorter arms, which could limit how much extension he can get in the NFL.
Also, Williams' pad level and block recognition are issues against the run. He has a habit of standing up out of his stance and is often late to recognize down blocks and double teams, leading to getting washed out of his gap.
Beyond having a solid bull rush, the former Buckeye has shown the ability to win with a few finesse moves as a pass-rusher. But again, it's a matter of consistency, as he's still learning how to use his hands and will often go long stretches without winning.
Those wins around the edges of offensive linemen were more flashes than something that's a staple of his pass-rush arsenal. Also, his high pad level will reduce the effectiveness of his bull rush against better competition.
Schematically, Williams would be best as a 3-technique in even fronts.
