In a draft class brimming with quarterback talent, the top three quarterback prospects – USC’s Caleb Williams, LSU’s Jayden Daniels, and UNC’s Drake Maye – are distinctly different.
The Bears have long been projected to take Williams first off the board, with Daniels and Maye going next to either Washington (No. 2) or New England (No. 3).
Daniels, in particular, has long stood out for his explosive plays and ability to elude an open field. His deep-ball accuracy is outstanding and his legs have been his get-out-of-jail-free card under pressure.
The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner knows that it’s his dual-threat capabilities that have set him apart from other players in the draft.
