Only Jihaad Campbell and Drew Mukaba remain unsigned after Philadelphia inks sixth round pick Cameron Williams to his four year rookie deal
The Eagles selected an impressive ten-player class in April, and only two players remain unsigned after the team inked former Texas offensive tackle Cameron Williams to his standard four-year rookie deal on Tuesday.
Philadelphia drafted two offensive tackles and a center after adding four defensive players in the early rounds.
The 6-foot-5, 335-pound Williams, a true junior, projects as an NFL tackle. He started 16 games for the Longhorns and played in 37 games, serving as an anchor of an offensive line that was a Joe Moore Award finalist in 2024. Williams was projected as the 28th best player available in the NFL draft, per initial ESPN rankings, and was slotted at No. 28 in the early mock draft by ESPN’s Field Yates. ESPN’s Matt Miller ranked Williams as his No. 3 overall tackle in the draft, while ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranked him 7th at the position.
Here is what NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein said about the Duncanville, Texas native.
Williams’ blend of desirable physical traits but subpar bend and foot quickness make him a tougher pro projection. The technique will likely need a full year of work to help mitigate the aforementioned deficiencies and allow his traits to speak more loudly. He has the potential to impose his size on lesser opponents, but more skilled combatants will have the upper hand. Williams is more mauler than a mover in the run game, while his protection consistency should improve with more work. Experience should bring out his upside, but his ceiling could be an average starting right tackle.
