Lions rookie DT Tyleik Williams posted an 8.9% pressure rate, ranking third among rookie defensive tackles this season and 12th among rookie DTs over the last five seasons. His 9.3% pass rush win rate also ranked third among rookie DTs this year. Williams flashed increased pass rush prowess in the back half of the season.

Wrapping up my rookie year with a lot of gratitude. It came with plenty of ups and downs, lessons I didn’t expect, and growth I definitely needed. Every moment from good to bad played a part in shaping me, and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thankful for the journey so far and excited for everything that’s ahead. Supporters keep supporting and doubters keep doubting. #HDLW

Well what a way to end it.
