USC Star QB Caleb Williams Contemplating Another Year in College

In a recent interview with GQ Magazine, the father of USC’s star quarterback, Caleb Williams, has hinted that his son may consider staying in school for an additional year if he’s not satisfied with the situation he’d find himself in should he be selected as the first overall pick in the NFL draft.

Williams’ father expressed concerns about the NFL draft process, pointing out that, ironically, his son might be better off not being drafted at all rather than being chosen as the top pick. He argued that the current system is somewhat counterintuitive. In this system, the team with the worst record in the league, and often the most challenging situation, is rewarded with the first overall pick as a means to promote parity in the league.

He described it as both a “gift and a curse.” While being the first pick is undoubtedly an honor, it also means potentially joining the least successful team in the league, which can present its challenges for a young player like Caleb Williams.

The quarterback’s father went on to say that if his son doesn’t see a favorable situation for his NFL career, he could decide to return to college for another year. This decision would allow him to further develop his skills, gain more experience, and potentially increase his draft stock for the following year when he might have more control over his destination.

Caleb Williams has been a standout talent in college football, and his potential decision to delay entering the NFL in pursuit of a more favorable situation is sure to be a topic of interest among football fans and experts alike. As the NFL draft approaches, it remains to be seen whether Williams will indeed take this unconventional path to the pros, or if he’ll opt to seize the opportunity to become the first overall pick, despite the potential challenges that come with it.
