Earlier too Williams was compared with QB Mahomes. This is high praise for the USC player, justifiably earned through his impressive performance. It’s almost certain that whoever gets the first overall 2024 NFL Draft pick will choose Williams. After winning last season’s Heisman Trophy, many thought he could have gone first in the 2023 NFL Draft if eligible. Now, with an entire season ahead, he aims to bolster his draft status and guide USC to their debut College Football Playoff, all while defending his Heisman.

Numerous fans resonated with Mahomes’ comparison, sharing thoughts like, “I see a lot of Patrick Mahomes in him.” Another enthusiast added, “Very similar style to Mahomes. I don’t really see the Lamar Jackson/Josh Allen comparison. He has the backyard football style of Mahomes, ability to extend plays and make magic happen when nothing is there.”

Expressing sheer amazement, one user stated, “Caleb Williams is the greatest quarterback prospect I’ve ever seen.

Meanwhile, a different perspective emerged from a man, “To me he’s a Donavan McNab with a bigger arm, but sure! Let’s say he’s Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson in one…might as well add a dash of Elway and Marino and a hint of Manning and Montana.

Caleb Williams is also a strong contender for the Heisman trophy, which, if won, would mark a historic achievement as the first quarterback to secure it twice. In the grand scheme of things, it’s only time that will reveal whether he possesses the attributes and playing style akin to the formidable trio of Mahomes, Jackson, and Allen.
