Caleb Williams is certainly confident, and he backs his talk up with sensational performances on the field – but the USC quarterback has set the bar high with his Tom Brady vow
USC star quarterback Caleb Williams revealed the goal of his NFL career is surpassing Tom Brady by winning eight Super Bowl championships.
Williams transferred to USC from Oklahoma with head coach Lincoln Riley ahead of the 2022 college season and quickly established himself as one of the college game’s best signal-callers. He became the first USC player to win the Heisman Trophy since Reggie Bush in 2005 and will look to pick up from where he left off when the 2023 campaign kicks off.
Williams dominated in just his second season at the collegiate level as he threw 42 touchdowns to just five interceptions while adding 10 scores on the ground. He completed 66.6 percent of his passes for 4,537 yards during his banner season, leading USC to an 11-3 record and a spot in the Pac-12 title game.
As a result of his explosive play, Williams has received favourable comparisons to two-time MVP Patrick Mahomes as both quarterbacks use their legs to get away from pressure before pulling off remarkable throws from unusual angles. However, the coveted 21-year-old prospect has his eyes on another all-time great quarterback as he prepares to step into the NFL.
