Home/NFL

Who would’ve thought a kid who used to cut grass on the weekends would one day make it to the Super Bowl? Oh, we are talking about the Eagles’ DT Milton Williams. I mean, when was the last time you heard some buzz about a defensive tackle? But Milton has been making moves that have been catching everyone’s eye since ‘21. He was drafted by the Eagles and now he’s one of the key players on their D-line. Milton’s pro day performance must’ve tempted the Eagles to go sign him.

You’d be blown away by the fact that he ran the fastest 40-yard dash in just 4.63 sec. And he’s a whopping 280 pounds, something that hasn’t been done in two decades. Let’s not go way back, do you remember his last November game against the Rams? He helped the Eagles get the 37-20 victory with 4 pressures. And his 3 QB hits and 2 sacks were just the icing on top. He’s been working hard for his brothers on the team. But who’s exactly behind his motivation to wake up and seize the day? Let’s take a glance behind the curtains.

Does Milton Williams have a girlfriend?

Do you really think it’s important for a person to go search for love when they’re aiming for something beyond? What I’m trying to say is, Milton Williams ain’t got no love strings attached to anyone. He’s got his heart locked up on success. He’s very vocal about working hard every day and motivating others to do the same. You can clearly witness that when he flaunted his 500-pound bench press on his IG story. Sheesh, he’s more busy making himself into a beast than someone’s prince charming for now.

But Milton’s got love for the streets, for his community. He can often be seen taking the initiative to organize events promoting the game to Gen Z. In one of his IG posts, he wrote, “Love giving back to my community. @zmac8 and I had the opportunity to host our first 7-on-7 tournament this past weekend including Millville, Roman Catholic, Eastside High, and St. Joe’s Academy. A lot of good competition showed up, can’t wait for next year.

Moving on, it won’t be hard for anyone to take a guess where Milton Williams got his willpower from. Just take a walk with any of his parents. They both equally contributed to getting him to this level of stardom.

What’s your perspective on:

From cutting grass to the Super Bowl—Is Milton Williams the most underrated player in the NFL?

Have an interesting take?

Who are Milton Williams’ parents?

Williams Sr. did everything a loving father would do for his family. Despite working 13-hour shifts every day as a truck driver, driving to places like Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana—where Williams played college football—he never missed a beat when it came to being there for his kids. “My father. His drive and his will that are taken care of. He was always there for me and my sisters. He’d be at our games all day and get like two hours of sleep and then go into work. Just seeing how he worked, it still pushes me to this day,” Williams said.

As for Williams’ mother, Willanette, she’s a breast cancer survivor. Willanette Williams has been a constant presence in Milton’s life, never missing a high school game. By profession, she’s an elementary school counselor at Fort Worth ISD and holds a Bachelor of Science Degree from Texas College. She further pursued her education, earning a master’s in counseling from Prairie View A&M University.

But did you know? There’s another version of Williams out there.

Is Milton Williams a twin?

Don’t be baffled if you ever come across a doppelgänger of Milton Williams. Because that might just be his twin sister, Mia. Although she’s not as famous as her brother, we’ve been talking about motivators, right? She surely holds the top spot. When Milton got drafted back in ‘21, she shared her joy with the whole world on IG. “It’s been a long time coming twin, but with God you finally made it. I have witnessed you put in work from little league to middle school to high school then college. You deserve this & I know you gonna show out‼ I love you. Time to wake them up.

She clearly has witnessed his days of struggles and the point where he made it. She can often be seen cheering for him as well. In one of her IG posts, she also cherished the fact that because of him, she was able to see things she never imagined. “I’m thankful for him exposing me to things I’ve never done before. My very first Super Bowl was to watch my twin play. I couldn’t be more proud. Win or lose, you’re a champion in my eyes. You know I’m with you through w/e 4L.” If that’s not enough for a man to keep moving forward, then I don’t know what is.
