Three quarterbacks launched their careers Sunday with the debut of the Bears’ Caleb Williams, the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels and the Broncos’ Bo Nix.
The other three first-round picks — Drake Maye (No. 3, Patriots), Michael Penix (No. 8, Falcons), J.J. McCarthy (No. 10, Vikings) — will have to wait. Maye should start at some point, likely by the time the Bears host the Patriots in Week 10, but McCarthy is injured and Penix is backing up Kirk Cousins.
Here’s how Williams, Daniels and Nix did Sunday:
No. 1 overall pick: Bears QB Caleb Williams
Williams disappointed, but his debut could’ve been worse.
