Duke’s steady edge setter who earned NFL traction
Wesley Williams built a strong reputation at Duke as a productive, high-motor defensive end, finishing the 2024 season with 7.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss, then adding 2.0 sacks in 2025 before entering the 2026 NFL Draft. He’s the kind of edge defender coaches love: active, disruptive, and dependable, with enough burst and strength to stress tackles without needing constant blitz help. Multiple draft sources also pegged him as a solid Day 3-type prospect, which fits a player whose game is built on effort, discipline, and growth rather than flash.
