Caleb Williams 40 Time

Projected 40 Time: 4.45 seconds

Caleb Williams is one of the best dual-threat quarterbacks in all of college football. He possesses very good quickness and burst to escape the pocket and get upfield in a hurry. Capable of making most defenders miss out in space. He has an excellent ability to navigate the pocket to avoid pressure and keep plays alive. However, he will occasionally get himself into trouble by trying to do too much to extend the play. Capable of setting his feet quickly and has a quick release, but has forced throws off of his back foot. Displays good accuracy on intermediate throws up the middle of the field, while throws to outside the numbers can be placed a bit outside of the catch radius. He has an excellent ability to progress through reads quickly and place the ball perfectly downfield, although his ability to throw with anticipation can be a bit spotty at times.
