Lions Sign First-Rounder Tyleik Williams
The Detroit Lions have signed rookie defensive lineman Tyleik Williams to a four-year contract worth over $16.48 million. Williams was the No. 28 selection in last month's draft. A two-year starter at Ohio State, he'll join five other Lions rookies who have inked their deals -- leaving second-round guard Tate Ratledge the only one unsigned. The 22-year-old is part of a loaded Detroit defensive front, so it may be tough for him to garner a ton of playing time early on. Teammates DJ Reader and Alim McNeil are solid options up the middle, capping his upside to begin his career. Still, his athleticism and prowess in the run game should keep him on the field for now and push him into starter territory eventually.
