Quarterback Caleb Williams of USC is in the news as the 2024 NFL Draft draws near. But not for the reasons he may have expected. In a highly harsh video that became popular on Twitter, the speaker trolled Williams for his behaviour throughout the draft, casting doubt on his maturity and NFL preparation. Williams’ potential as a franchise quarterback at the next level has been the subject of a contentious debate prompted by the video.

Williams’ character and how he handled the draft process have come under scrutiny following the widespread release of the video. Some analysts speculate that because the NFL teams carefully consider prospects’ behaviour and maturity when making decisions, his behaviour may have caused his draft value to decline.

Speaker slams Caleb Williams for not talking to media after loss

In the viral video, the speaker blasts Williams for refusing to speak to the media following a loss. “And you’re not talking because you got your feelings hurt because you lost again? No shot. That would make me very concerned about taking that guy number one,” the speaker exclaims. He questions Williams’ maturity, asking, “Who the hell do you think you are?” and emphasizes, “You are not a college student,” warning that such behaviour would be unacceptable in the NFL.

The remarks made by the speaker highlight the enormous pressure and expectations put on top draft prospects. This has raised questions on Williams’ capacity to handle difficulty and remain professional in the face of defeat, possibly raising doubts about his preparation for the ranks of professionals.

Williams’ criticism by the speaker aligns with the opinions of other pundits and former players who have questioned Williams’ preparedness for the NFL. Some believe Jayden Daniels or another quarterback might be a better fit for the first pick as worries about Williams’ poise and maturity under duress grow.

Competition heats up for number one pick in the 2024 NFL draft

While Caleb Williams has long been the favourite to be selected first overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, new information suggests that Jayden Daniels is becoming a strong candidate. A former NFL quarterback, Dan Orlovsky, has backed Daniels, saying, “Jayden Daniels should be the guy. If I were the team now, Jayden Daniels would be plucked from LSU by the Chicago Bears.” Orlovsky’s endorsement further fuels the debate surrounding the top quarterback prospect.

As the rivalry between Williams and Daniels for the top draft spot heats up, scouts closely examine each quarterback’s distinctive abilities. Daniels’ knack for evading pressure and delivering precise passes while on the move has earned him comparisons to elite NFL signal-callers such as Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.

As the 2024 NFL Draft draws closer, the Williams-Daniels debate is set to intensify. Will Williams’ undeniable talent outweigh his maturity and behaviour concerns during the draft?
