Caleb Williams was making headlines even before he transitioned to the NFL. The NIL deal has already made him a millionaire, with reports suggesting he will earn around $10 million in two years, an amount good enough for an NFL quarterback. The USC Trojans star is so confident about his skill set that he decided to skip the NFL combine despite being present at the camp.
In addition to the monetary benefits, he also has a strong fan base. Most of his fan base is from Chicago, merely based on speculations of him joining the Bears. The level of enthusiasm is so high that they hijacked the announcement of an important Hall of Fame game in favor of Caleb Williams.
Fans make outrageous demands for inclusion of Caleb Williams
