The NFL Draft is fast approaching and three of the college football stars are expected to get the top three drafts – Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels. All three have already established themselves in college football and the NFL world is hoping that they will shake up the big stage.

Among these three, Caleb Williams is expected to have a fantastic rookie season in the coming time. Last season, it was CJ Stroud who had a fantastic rookie season with the Houston Texans. Now, multiple analysts are expecting that Williams, who had a fantastic college season in 2022, can surpass the quarterback at the professional level.

Among those analysts, Emmanuel Acho is one. In the show Speak, Acho emphasized why Williams is a special one with high expectations associated with him. He also added that he believes that Williams deserves the hype that is building around him.

A successful season for any rookie looks competent. Not a successful season for the No.1 overall pick. Not a successful season for the greatest quarterback in my estimation and in many estimations in the last ten years. So a successful season for Bryce Young looked competent. So a successful season for Janis Winston looked competent... But Caleb? I need more than competency. Emmanuel Acho said

Caleb Williams has a high possibility of being drafted by the Chicago Bears. After the trade of Justin Fields, the chances of the quarterback landing into the Bears have increased. All eyes are on now to see if he gets the No.1 draft in the coming time.

Emmanuel Acho wants more from Caleb Williams

In the conversation, Emmanuel Acho claimed that Caleb Williams has created a different level of expectations due to his caliber. He did not throw in the NFL Combine, leading to a rather massive hype around him.

Caleb you want ownership in your team because that's how good you are. Caleb, you did not want to throw at the Combine, you did not throw at the Pro. For me, I need more than competency. Emmanuel Acho added

Despite having an average last season in college, Williams is still the hot favorite for the Bears. With only a couple of weeks left for the draft, it will be interesting to see how things pan out for Williams.
