.AlbertBreer’s Six From Saturday: An NFL personnel executive gives a scouting report on Heisman winner Caleb Williams, even though he won’t be eligible until 2024
, NFL teams already have their eyes on a kid who turned 20 less than a month ago, and already has been a starter for two college football bluebloods. Plenty of folks in pro football have watched Williams. Few have actually studied him at this point, since he’s not draft-eligible until 2024. But I was able to find someone who’s worked ahead on that quarterback class, to get better perspective on this year’s class. And the early evaluation was, as you’d expect it would be, glowing.
2) This is the time of year when you start to hear about players having come out of the woodwork as higher prospects than anyone envisioned in preseason, because teams have had a chance to work through the college season, and Illinois CB Devon Witherspoon is one to watch along those lines.
“He really impressed me,” says an NFC exec. “Three-down guy—outstanding speed and coverage skill. … He’s got the skill set to be a modern-day NFL ’backer. Former receiver, moved to safety and then to inside linebacker, so there’s some rawness to him. But that gives you a snapshot of the athlete. He has range, can play man, can blitz, excellent speed.” So he’ll be a good story and good player for everyone to dive into in the spring.
• The Bucs went from 18th to 18th to 12th in points; and 18th to ninth to third in total offense over Monken’s three years in Tampa Bay.• Ryan Fitzpatrick entered in a pinch and became the Bucs’ starter in 2018, and posted the only 100-plus-rating season of his 17-year career under Monken.
