Eagles Late-Round Longhorn Called Steal of Draft

The Philadelphia Eagles came away with quality players throughout the 2025 draft in late April.

None of them have the kind of potential as Texas right tackle and sixth-round pick Cameron Williams has. Philadelphia took the young tackle prospect probably a year before he should have came out of the draft.

Instead, Williams joins an offensive line with an All-Pro in front of him with Lane Johnson still at the helm. With Jeff Stoutland still in control of the offensive line, Williams could not be in a better situation for himself.

That's why A To Z Sports’ Travis May actually called Cameron Williams the "absolute steal" of the draft for Philadelphia.

"The Texas Longhorns sent a stacked class of prospects to the 2025 NFL Draft and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman couldn't help but select two of them. Andrew Mukuba the safety at the end of round two. Cameron Williams at offensive tackle, way late in round six," May said. "While Mukuba is the more obvious choice to earn significant snaps rather early given his versatility to plug into a variety of defensive back roles, Cameron Williams looks like an absolute steal at offensive tackle in the sixth round coming off an already impressive Eagles rookie minicamp."

Williams won't be expected to play at all this season, or in the following year, either. So long as Johnson is on the roster, the Texas product will be blocked.

But much like Jordan Mailata was on the left side, the Eagles can afford to be patient with Williams. And who knows? He might just be the newest steal for Philly on their offensive line.
