The first local player off the board in the NFL Draft is Cal cornerback Nohl Williams. Williams, who excelled for the Bears for two season after transferring from Nevada-Las Vegas, was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs Friday in the third round, No. 85 overall.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected California CB Nohl Williams with the No. 85 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Williams made a name for himself this season as a ball-hawking cornerback, leading the country with seven interceptions. He has good hands, reads the quarterback's eyes well to anticipate throws and tracks the ball like a wide receiver.
