Will Milton Williams stay with the Eagles, or is a big-money move on the horizon?

Milton Williams is the kind of player every franchise dreams of—a 25-year-old defensive tackle built like a bulldozer and just as unstoppable. Seriously, how often do you hear of a DT in such high demand? Williams may have been a Louisiana Tech standout. But since landing with the Eagles in the 2021 draft, he’s been proving he’s more than just potential.

This season, Williams sits pretty at seventh among interior defenders, sporting an 80.6 Pro Football Focus grade. The Eagles are clinging to their defensive gems, but with Williams heading into contract talks, things could get… spicy. Don’t be shocked if the Saints (they are keeping close tabs)—or any team with a D-line gap—try to swoop in. And if he does make a move, you know there’ll be a pic on his Instagram, probably with his family front and center. Oh, and don’t be confused if you spot someone who looks just like him.

Is Milton Williams a twin?

Yep, that’s his twin sister—repping the colors of Milton’s team! When you hear Milton Williams, you hear the name of a DT making his mark. But after doing the research, we can tell you the Williams surname is just a mark of a close-knit family.

So, back in 2019, when Milton gave her a shoutout on social media, calling her the “best twin sister” with a heartfelt “my dawg.” It doesn’t look surprising at all now, does it?

So, who is Mia? While she’s not as well-known as Milton, her social media hints at a life just as active. According to her bio, she’s a coach in basketball, volleyball, and track (yup, she’s juggling three sports! if we go by the emojis, that is. But what kind of coach exactly is unknown). And, like Milton, is a Louisiana Tech alum, graduating in 2020. But Mia isn’t the only family connection that keeps Milton grounded.

Have an interesting take?

How many siblings does Milton have?

Remember Milton’s shoutout to his dad’s dedication? Well, it wasn’t just about cheering on Milton alone. His father, Milton Sr., was all-in for every Williams kid—starting with Mishayla, then Mia (Milton’s twin), and now Malia. No biases here; the whole Williams crew got the same support and push to chase their goals.

Milton is actually the middle child. Mishayla is the eldest, while Mia—his twin—is two minutes younger. Although his alma mater lists a third sister, Malia, there’s not much about her on the net. Still, one thing’s clear: Milton’s fam has been his day one.

Growing up with three sisters, Milton had no shortage of life lessons. Each one of them—whether on the basketball court, the track, or just at home—taught him to think a little differently every day.

And if you’re wondering where Milton got his relentless drive, look no further than his parents. His mom, a counselor, and his dad, who worked 2 a.m. shifts but never missed a game, made sure he learned the value of showing up. “He [Milton Sr.] never missed a [football] game, a track meet, basketball game. He never missed none of that stuff,” his mom shared.
