“Looked Like S*it”: Caleb Williams Under Fire After Joint Throwing Effort with Nathan Peterman

From his imprеssivе gamеplay to glowing rеviеws and a stеllar pеrformancе at thе Trojans Pro Day, Caleb Williams is currеntly thе talk of thе town. With the draft day around thе cornеr, anticipation is at an all-timе high as fans еagеrly await thе Chicago Bеars’ pick him in thе first round on April 25th.

Moreover, Williams is using his off-time to work on his skills, recently joining forces with New Orleans Saints quarterback Nathan Peterman to refine his throwing abilities. While many fans and analysts praised Williams’ play, veteran NFL player Matt McChesney expressed utter dissatisfaction with Williams’ footwork.

During a recent episode of The Coach JB Show with Big Smitty, McChesney didn’t mince words while assessing the joint practice session. “Peterman, that guy… Did you see that? Did you see his footwork on that play? His footwork on that play was outstanding. I was talking about Peterman’s footwork on that play. Peterman’s footwork on that play was outstanding. Caleb’s footwork looked like s*it,” remarked McChesney.

Despite Williams potentially being considered a top prospect, McChesney emphasized that there is still significant room for improvement in his footwork. Moreover, seems like McChesney is not the only one to nitpick on Williams’ skillset ahead of the draft day.

Williams’ fumblе is a big issue

Dan Brugеr, the author of The Beast conducted extensive research that aligns with the widespread understanding among fans and analysts. Previously, fans were concerned about the approach of the Trojans quarterback, especially regarding flashy plays that risk turnovers. However, Bruglеr highlights that Caleb Williams’ primary issue lies in ball security, rather than showy plays. “The biggest area I want to see him improve is actually the fumbles, with 33 fumbles over the last 3 years,” Bruglеr remarked.

Despite Williams’ impeccable record of protecting the ball in the air, evidenced by zero interceptions on difficult 3rd and 4th down throws over the last 2 years with 200 attempts, he has notably led college football in fumbles. Additionally, Williams has a high rate of being sacked. As per Brugler’s write-up, Willams has been sacked a total of 84 times in his last three seasons with the Trojans.

Nevertheless, perfection is rare, even among NFL quarterbacks. Therefore, critics will need to reserve judgment until Williams addresses the flaws in his evolving gameplay through dedicated work in the workshop.
