After an amazing season withUSC, Caleb Williams won the2022 Heisman Trophyas the best player inCollege Football. TheTrojanswere really close of the playoffs and a shot at the national title, but a crushing 47-24 loss withUtahin thePac-12 Championship Gamederailed their hopes.
However,Caleb Williams was spectacular throwing for 4075 yards, 37 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions. The 20-year old is just a phenomenal athlete and the sky is the limit. That’s why many experts and recruits are convinced that he will be a huge success in theNFL.
Now, in an incredible turn of events, Caleb Williams has shocked the NFL by admitting publicly where he wants to play when his college career ends at USC. Read here to check out the surprising answer.
Caleb Williams wants to play for the Miami Dolphins
The2023 NFL Draftis scheduled to be held inKansas CityfromApril 27 to April 29. In what should be a first round with a lot of quarterbacks taken,Caleb Williamsis seen by thousands of fans as the biggest hope to transform their franchises. Nevertheless, that won’t happen because the quarterback cannot be taken by any team.
The2023 NFL Draftwill have a lot of big names at the quarterback position such asBryce Young(Alabama),C.J. Stroud(Ohio State), Anthony Richardson (Florida) and Will Levis (Kentucky).Caleb Williamswon’t be one of them.
Caleb Williamsis eligible to enter theNFL Draftuntil the 2024 edition. That’s because he has just played one year with theOklahoma Sooners(freshman) and another for theUSC Trojans(sophomore). The rules mandate that he has to play at the college level at least for three years. “To be eligible for the draft, players must have been out of high school for at least three years and must have used up their college eligibility before the start of the next college football season”.
In 2024, unless something extraordinary happens,Caleb Williamswill be a first-round pick joining other recentUSCquarterbaks with that distinction such asSam Darnold, Mark Sanchez, Matt Leinart andCarson Palmer. Now, during an interview with People magazine, the star player already knows which team he wants to play for.
“I’d probably go to theDolphins.I also would be able to play with Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Mike Gesicki. The defense isn’t bad. That’s probably my number one spot. I also like the colors. The colors are pretty cool and the weather’s good.”
So, in case Tua Tagovailoa’s contract isn’t extended with the Dolphins, Caleb Williams could become a main target in the 2024 NFL Draft as the franchise quarterback of the future. For the Heisman Trophy winner, at least for the moment, Miami is on top of the list.
