GREEN BAY − The Green Bay Packers selected Cincinnati tackle John Williams with the 250th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Here is a look at the newest Packer.
Will John Williams be a replacement for Aaron Banks?
PackersNews.com analysis: “Another massively built offensive lineman has been picked. A Bolingbrook, Illinois, native, Williams became a full-time starter at left tackle his junior year and anchored the offensive line his final two seasons. He may wind up being a guard, although he’s got long enough arms and enormous hands, which are typical of a left tackle prospect. Cincinnati ran a balanced offense, but Williams’ strength was pass-blocking.” −Tom Silverstein

NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein’s take on John Williams
“Williams, a college tackle, has the body type of a guard, which is where he might be asked to move as a pro. He’s tight-hipped, leading to waist-bending, but he has adequate quickness in the early stages of the block. He lacks decisiveness and body control to make consistent use of early advantages. He also needs to get stronger and more aggressive as a run blocker. He’s long in pass pro with adequate footwork when projected to guard, but it remains to be seen if he can survive against pro bull-rushers.”
