It’s expected that USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake Maye and LSU’s Jayden Daniels will be the first three quarterbacks taken in the 2024 NFL Draft.
As scouts pour over hours of film on each and prepare to evaluate their every move at the 2024 NFL Combine next week, ESPN draft analyst Matt Miller recently released his list of the 16 draft prospects who have a true first-round grade, complete with player comparisons for each.
Miller believes the 22-year-old Williams, who threw for 3,633 yards, 30 touchdowns and five interceptions this season, is similar to New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers.
“Williams combines excellent arm strength, mobility and field vision with a knack for making creative plays when defenses close in on the pocket,” Miller wrote. “…The NFL-style playmaking and jaw-dropping passing ability has scouts calling him a rare prospect. What he’s able to do on second-effort plays is impressive.”
