The Philadelphia Eagles selected Texas offensive tackle Cameron Williams with the No. 207 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, adding a massive and promising lineman to their roster.
Williams, who stands 6-foot-6 and weighs 317 pounds, started 16 games over three seasons with the Longhorns and was a 2024 Joe Moore Award finalist. Known for his imposing frame, long arms, and powerful grip, Williams excelled as a run blocker, helping Texas average over five yards per carry when running behind him. He allowed just two sacks in 2024, both against Georgia, and played nearly 1,000 snaps in his final season.
Elite Physical Traits and Size
Cameron Williams brings prototype NFL tackle dimensions to Philadelphia, standing 6-foot-6, weighing 317 pounds, with 34 1/2-inch arms and massive 11 3/8-inch hands. His frame and length make him a natural fit at right tackle, where he played exclusively at Texas.
Run Game Asset with Power and Mobility
Williams excelled as a run blocker in Texas's multiple-run scheme, using his girth, length, and grip strength to wall off defenders and create running lanes. He was a key reason Texas running backs averaged over five yards per carry running behind him, and he shows surprising mobility for his size when pulling or climbing to the second level.
Raw, Developmental Prospect with Limited Experience
Despite his upside, Williams is considered a "traits" prospect who needs significant development. He started just 16 games in college, all at right tackle, and is still refining his technique and consistency. His limited experience means he’ll likely require time and coaching before becoming a reliable NFL starter.
Room for growth, with the right coaching.
Williams was the second-most penalized offensive lineman in FBS in 2024, drawing 16 flags. He struggles with hand placement, sometimes plays too high, and can be vulnerable to speed rushers due to footwork and balance issues. Improving these areas will be crucial for his transition to the NFL, but Williams has remained coachable throughout his college career.
Coachable Talent
Analysts believe Williams landed in an ideal spot with the Eagles, who have a strong track record of developing offensive linemen under coach Jeff Stoutland. If placed in a quick-game, play-action-heavy offense that plays to his strengths, Williams has legitimate starting potential and could eventually develop into a long-term solution at right tackle.
