USC quarterback Caleb Williams has put the football world on notice this fall. Not only has he already received in a number of postseason awards and been named a Heisman Trophy finalist, but he recently received a glowing comparison to NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes.
Renowned quarterback coach Tom House said on The Adam Schefter Podcast this week that Williams will be “the second coming of Pat Mahomes,” praising the 20-year-old’s accuracy and decision-making. The comparison made its way back to the Heisman favorite, who gave a confident response about his own abilities when stacked up against the Chiefs star.
“It’s pretty cool, I’d say, just because everybody watches Patrick and sees all the cool things he can do,” Williams said, per Zach Gelb of CBS Sports Radio. “I always said even in high school that I don’t think there’s anything—obviously, he’s special, but I don’t think there’s anything that I can’t do that he’s doing out there.”
