Mykel Williams Inspires His Hometown
Defensive lineman Mykel Williams returned to Columbus, Georgia, to host his second annual youth football camp at Odis Spencer Stadium.
The former Hardaway High School standout worked with local athletes ages 13-17, leading drills while sharing lessons from his path to becoming a first-round NFL Draft pick.
For Williams, the camp represented something bigger than football.
“It is cool just to be able to come back, period,” Williams told WTVM News. “To come back and give back to the community, man, it means the world. This is something I really aspire to do, come back and inspire the youth in my community and give back.”
He added that watching local athletes grow and enjoy the game remains his favorite part of the event.
