agree with you but Nabers does have some special traits with his YAC ability and general burst/shiftiness. he should be able to take the top off too, hes gonna be a weapon

see some Chase in his game
Seems like in terms of fit Odunze is better for the Bears right?

Unless he's the Waddle to Moore's Hill.

yes, Odunze compliments DJ perfectly imo

seems aggressive to make Mike Evans comparison but with his contested catch ability and ability to make plays down the field - I see it

these top 3 WRs all look like game changers tbh

How did Bruce look with pressure in NFL?

Game is a lot different when WRs not running wide open. Caleb has issues seeing field with pressure, which is why he scrambles. He's a better athlete than Bryce, but I think he's more likely to get broke in half before he becomes the next Mahomes
He threw them open.

Caleb Williams's best WR is a day 2 draft pick at best (15th best WR in the nation according to Steve Smith's rankings)
His 2nd best WR is transferring to Tulane.

Dude was their offense. WR's couldn't get off the line.

i like caleb - saying that upfront

but these are.... really not that crazy :dead: its not creating something out of nothing when you add more steps to layups.
You don't think that 30-35 yard no-look floater while fading away was impressive?

Going to be interesting how aggressive they are to move up for one of them.

I dont think he added any steps there, he had interior pressure coming and made a throw off his back feet to a open spot 35 yards downfield in the bread basket of his receiver where he didnt have to slow down. That touch and recognition in the face of interior pressure is what makes me so excited about him. Dude got that ball out with a flick of the wrist too

he probably does need to be careful holding the ball too long in the league, but he navigates the pocket with actual escapism awareness, its not like a chicken with his head cut off

Fields holds the ball because he cant see whats developing down the field. Caleb holds the ball because he CAN see whats developing and is a big play hunter. Big difference IMO

not really. especially when you want your nfl qb to be able to hit the guy in the slant. like its 1st and 10 - just read the defense, call your shot, and hit it

its an NFL throw. like its good that he can do it, but when you gotta sprinkle all the extra flavor language on stuff like that im just kinda..... you shouldn't have to talk some of this stuff up beyond what it is.

a top qb prospect throwing an NFL throw is the baseline. again i *like* caleb

I'm not saying he's a terrible prospect. I'm just saying he's not generational or "special" are you're yapping about.

Do yourself a favor and just accept what I'm saying as fact. I'm the greatest to ever do this scouting shyt. You don't want to be on my list when the season starts
