San Francisco 49ers First Round Selection Mykel Williams Officially Signs Rookie Deal

San Francisco 49ers first-round selection, Mykel Williams has officially signed his rookie contract with the team.

With the 2025 NFL Draft concluded, this year's draft selections have begun signing their rookie deals as they prepare to start their careers at the professional level. The latest player to do so is San Francisco 49ers defensive end Mykel Willaims, who has reportedly signed his rookie contract.

According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Williams' deal is expected to be worth approximately $24.9 million over four years and will be fully guaranteed. Williams also received a $14.8 million signing bonus.

Williams was the Niners' first selection of the 2025 NFL Draft and was taken 11th overall in the first round. During his time at the University of Georgia, Williams consistently wreaked havoc for opposing offenses along the line of scrimmage and was one of the few members of a Kirby Smart defense to start as a true freshman.

The rookie reported to the team's rookie mini-camp earlier this week and has already turned some heads with his physical skillsets. With his rookie contract officially signed, buzz around the San Francisco rookie will only continue to grow.

Williams and the 49ers will begin their 2025 NFL season on Sunday, September 7th when they face the Seattle Seahawks. In this game, Williams will be facing former Bulldogs teammate Kenny McIntosh.
