In the lead-up to the 2024 NFL Draft, Caleb Williams has been drawing comparisons to none other than Patrick Mahomes, a connection that Williams himself acknowledges without hesitation.
Williams humbly reflects, "There's things that he does, physically � obviously, I'm not Patrick Mahomes and I'm not in his brain � but things that he does physically that I don't think that I can't do." This candid admission underscores Williams' respect for Mahomes while hinting at his own aspirations for greatness, as reported by Fox Sports.
What's particularly intriguing is the disparity in draft stock between Williams and Mahomes. While Mahomes was considered the third-best quarterback prospect in the 2017 NFL Draft, Williams has emerged as the consensus top quarterback in this year's class, with comparisons to Andrew Luck adding to the buzz surrounding him.
Speculation about LSU's Jayden Daniels challenging Williams for the top spot has faded, affirming Williams' status as the premier quarterback prospect.
Now, with the Chicago Bears poised to select Williams with the first overall pick, excitement among fans is palpable. The latest endorsement comes from Dane Brugler of The Athletic, who likened Williams to a "karaoke-style version of Patrick Mahomes" but emphasized his unique playmaking abilities.
If Williams lives up to the Mahomes comparisons, Bears fans have reason to dream big. Not only could they finally break free from the quarterback curse, but they could also have a future Hall of Famer leading their team to Super Bowl glory.
