Lions DT Tyleik Williams recorded a 74.1 PFF pass-rush grade from Weeks 12-18 last season, ranking 14th out of 127 qualifying interior defensive linemen.
His 85.4 PFF pass-rush grade on true dropback pass sets during that span ranked eighth among all defensive tackles and stands as the second-best mark by a rookie DT in the PFF era (since 2006).
It ranked ahead of end-of-rookie-season marks from players such as Aaron Donald, Geno Atkins, Nnamdi Madubuike, Vita Vea, and others.
