Georgia edge rushers Jalon Walker and Mykel Williams, teammates from the University of Georgia, will showcase their skills at a joint workout in Athens, Georgia on Thursday, providing NFL teams with a final opportunity to evaluate them ahead of the upcoming draft. Despite their unlikely pairing in the professional league, both players are expected to participate in position drills during the session.
Walker, who missed the Combine and Georgia's Pro Day due to a quad injury, remains a highly regarded prospect in this year's draft class. In contrast, Williams, who did participate in the Pro Day, is generally viewed as slightly lower in the rankings among Bulldog prospects. The New Orleans Saints, holding the ninth overall pick, are reportedly among the teams sending representatives to observe the workout.
The workout not only offers Walker and Williams a chance to impress scouts and coaches but also serves as a platform for teams to make final assessments before the draft. This event marks a significant opportunity for both players to solidify their draft stock and potentially secure their futures in the NFL.
