8. Raequan Williams, DT, Michigan State

As a redshirt senior in 2019, Williams had 48 tackles (7.5 for loss), 5 sacks, and forced fumble. The former Michigan State Spartan doesn’t rush the passer well, but he’s long, versatile, and he has a high-motor against the run game.

Williams earned third-team All-Big Ten honors as a junior after starting 13 games and racking up 53 tackles, 10.5 for loss, two sacks, and five pass breakups. Rather than cash out on his pro potential, he stayed in school and earned third-team All-Big Ten honors again and he’ll carve out a role on the Eagles roster.
