Pros

• Arm Talent
• No throw is off-limits. Touch, accuracy, and ball location to layer the ball or throw darts as needed
• AD-Lib
• Poised when the play breaks down, with an ability to make a home run out of what should have been a strikeout
• Athleticism
• Excellent athlete for the position with a twitch to maneuver the pocket and burst to get out and pick up yards as a true runner.

Cons

• Size
• Densely built but doesn’t meet the height thresholds that many teams have in place
• Decision Making
• Plays too much hero ball at times. Wants every play to be a touchdown, which is admirable but can lead to advantageous situations for the defense
• Footwork
• Often erratic with little thought or proper mechanics or fundamentals both in and out of the pocket.

Eval:

Williams is a sturdy athlete who is the embodiment of what teams want in their modern quarterback.

With effortless arm talent, an innate ability to makes plays and well developed understanding of the position, there are few boxes other than size and occasional lapses in judgment that Williams doesn’t check, cementing him as a top 2, if not first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft

Ceiling Comp: Bigger Kyler Murray

Tremendous athletes who play the position with an innate ability to make throws and lead offenses to explosive drives via their arms and legs.
