The Eagles’ Milton Williams says the rookie wall is real, and he's feeling that mental and physical fatigue five months after the start of training camp. But he is finding ways to fight through it.
Williams, the Eagles’ rookie 3rd-round pick from Louisiana Tech, has averaged 26 snaps per game and played 39 percent of the Eagles’ snaps this year backing up Fletcher Cox and Javon Hargrave. That’s the most snaps by an Eagles third-round rookie since another defensive tackle, Bennie Logan, averaged 30 snaps per game back in 2013.Williams said he’s been doing his best to fight through that rookie wall as the Eagles make a playoff push in the second half of the season.
“It’s real, as far as the rookie wall,” said the 22-year-old Williams, the youngest player in the Eagles' offensive or defensive rotation. “It is a real thing. But now it’s about being a professional. It’s my job now so it don’t matter if you hit a wall or whatever, you put an Eagles jersey on and you go out there and give it everything you’ve got.”Williams hasn’t made a ton of flash plays, but he’s been very solid playing for the NFL’s No. 9 run defense.
