Ryan Clark compares Caleb Williams to elite quarterbacks of the NFL, top on the list being Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson.
As the upcoming NFL drafts approach soon, the limelight seems to be on the top prospects. Standing up front, with the highest odds to be the No. 1 pick, is the USC’s star Caleb Williams.
Given, that the Chicago Bears have the No. 1 pick, the addition of Williams could transform their entire strategy, let alone strengthen their offensive line– all they desperately need.
On the contrary, a few commentators and analysts seem to see the other side of the story and do not seem to believe Williams is ready for the 2024 NFL Draft and would probably fail in the NFL. If that happens, it wouldn’t be the first time a transition from college stardom to the NFL fails mid-career.

Addressing the concerns and doubts regarding the 2022 Heisman Trophy’s winner, sports analyst Ryan Clark made a bold claim regarding Williams’ odds of succeeding in the league, stating he’s the future NFL star.
Clark said on the recent episode of ESPN’s Get Up:
If Caleb Williams isn’t starting day one and isn’t a highly successful NFL quarterback, it’s the coach’s fault and the organization's fault. I got to see Caleb Williams two times in person and leaving the stadium, I said, ‘The thing that they’re going to use against him is that he doesn’t play on time.'Ryan Clark said

Clark, who recently took over Stephen A. Smith’s position on First Take, reasoned Williams’ timing issue claiming he is “better than everybody else” and complimented his gameplay. Moreover, Clark also compared the 22-year-old to elite quarterbacks of the NFL, top on the list being Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and Lamar Jackson.
