National commentator makes headlines with Caleb Williams-based NFL QB rankings

USC’s Caleb Williams is regarded as the presumed No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He could very well win a second Heisman Trophy and a first national championship, but commentator Nick Wright thinks his value is even higher than that.

Appearing on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Fox Sports’ Nick Wright said he believes Williams is already one of the five most valuable quarterbacks in the sport, ahead of superstars Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson.

“If every NFL player and college player was available, Mahomes goes No. 1, there’s some debate over who goes No. 2, and Caleb goes before everyone other than maybe three people,” Wright said. “This is not disrespectful. He goes in a heartbeat before Hurts, before Lamar, before Tua [Tagovailoa], before Dak [Prescott]. He just does. And I would take him over [Justin] Herbert.”

Williams so far is 4-0 as the quarterback for the Trojans in 2023. Caleb has an 85.5 QBR, 1,200 pass yards, and 15 touchdowns through the air with zero picks and three rushing touchdowns.
