Crowley’s Milton Williams Helps Eagles Dominate in Super Bowl

Milton Williams, a Crowley High School alumnus, played a pivotal role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles’ defense was relentless, sacking Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing two interceptions. Williams contributed significantly with two sacks and a forced fumble, halting the Chiefs’ offensive momentum.

Williams’ football journey began at Crowley High School in Texas, where he amassed 300 tackles and 22 sacks. He continued his career at Louisiana Tech, recording 108 tackles and 10.5 sacks over three seasons. Declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, Williams was selected by the Eagles in the third round. Over four seasons with Philadelphia, he has accumulated 11.5 sacks and 100 total tackles.

In Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles’ defense executed a dominant performance, applying consistent pressure on Mahomes without resorting to blitzes. This strategy resulted in six sacks and 16 pressures, disrupting the Chiefs’ offense. Offensively, quarterback Jalen Hurts from Channelview, Texas delivered an MVP performance, completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while also leading the team in rushing with 72 yards and a touchdown. 

Williams’ impactful performance in the Super Bowl not only highlights his growth as a player but also underscores the significant contributions of Texas high school football talent on the national stage. Williams now enters free agency in which he is expected to land a contract north of 75 million dollars.
