Why Caleb Williams could stay at USC another year even if he would be the No. 1 NFL Draft pick

Quarterback Caleb Williams is just two (relatively easy) games into the USC season but his stats pop out — 73.5 completion percentage, nine touchdowns, zero interceptions. Scouts are already comparing him to Patrick Mahomes.

In other words, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner is still on track to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Maybe North Carolina’s Drake Maye slips past him for the top spot, but at this point, there won’t be much of a mystery for Williams next spring.

This looks like a franchise quarterback.

Yet, does he want to quarterback for just any old franchise?
