The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are actively seeking to enhance their pass-rushing capabilities ahead of the NFL Draft, focusing on Georgia standout Mykel Williams. Despite securing Haason Reddick in the offseason, the Bucs are determined to add youthful talent to their defensive roster. Williams, recognized as a potential project, has shown glimpses of his ability to pressure quarterbacks during his time at Georgia but has struggled with consistency, partially due to the competitive nature of the Bulldogs' defensive rotation.

If he can thrive under the mentorship of veterans like Reddick, he could bolster a Bucs defense that has had mixed results in pressuring opposing quarterbacks. Bucs GM Jason Licht is taking a calculated risk, aiming to finally hit a home run with a pass-rusher after previous draft misses.
