"Williams exploded onto the scene last year at this time, sacking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes twice as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, including a fourth-quarter strip sack he recovered. The timing couldn't have been better. A free agent, Williams parlayed the big-game performance into a four-year, $104 million contract in New England -- a team record of which $63 million is guaranteed."
"The 26-year-old has brought a chip-on-the-shoulder edge to the Patriots in his first season with the team and is instrumental to the NFL's fourth-ranked scoring defense (18.8 average PPG in the regular season). He has also brought playoff and championship experience, which teammates are leaning into leading up to Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks on Feb. 8 (6:30 p.m. ET, NBC)."
Milton Williams sparked a dominant Patriots defensive effort in the 10-7 AFC championship win over the Broncos, finishing with a team-high four pressures while often facing double-teams on 40% of his pass rushes. The 26-year-old has provided a chip-on-the-shoulder attitude in his first season in New England and helped anchor an elite scoring defense (18.8 PPG). Williams brings recent playoff and championship experience from Super Bowl LIX and leveraged that performance into a four-year, $104 million contract with $63 million guaranteed, giving teammates a veteran reference point heading into Super Bowl LX.
