Patrick Mahomes has broken some of the most impressive quarterback records within a few years of joining the league in 2017. His cannon arms and skilful footwork make him one of the best quarterbacking talents of all time. However, prodigies come in packs of two. And apparently, there’s a new one on the NFL’s horizon.
The player in question here is USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams. According to quarterback expert Tom House, Williams is the next super talent to watch out for in the league. Williams reminded him of a young Patrick Mahomes from his Texas Tech days. Tom joined the Adam Schefter Podcast and spoke highly of former Washington High School QB Williams.

“I really think the kid that’s the quarterback at USC right now is the second coming of Pat Mahomes. He’s got everything that Mahomes does,” Tom House said before going on some more. “Nobody ever squares him up. He’s an accurate passer, he makes good decisions under pressure and he’s 6’2,” House said about Williams, who was the best quarterback and the second-best player from Washington, D.C.

Caleb Williams is in the race for the Heisman Trophy this year despite the loss to Utah in the PAC-12 championship game. However, his 4075 passing yards to go with 37 touchdowns and only 4 interceptions definitely put him on the table for the award. Patrick Mahomes, unfortunately, couldn’t win the Heisman Trophy in his college years and lost to a certain Lamar Jackson in 2016. However, Mahomes’ stats were pretty astounding.

Super Bowl 2020 winner and MVP, Patrick Mahomes was always meant for greater things. Mahomes played only 7 games in his freshman year with 1547 passing yards. However, his true form came over the next two years, where the future Kansas City Chiefs QB recorded 4653 and 5052 yards, respectively. He also had 41 touchdowns in his final year and still holds the NCAA record for single-game passing yards with 734 yards. And after all this, there was no Heisman for Pat Mahomes.
