With only three days until the 2024 NFL Draft kicks off, the speculation and rumors surrounding the top prospects are intensifying. Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, is widely expected to be the first overall pick by the Chicago Bears. However, an anonymous head coach has expressed a surprising preference for Jayden Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, over both Williams and Drake Maye, who is considered the second-best quarterback prospect in the draft.
The head coach believes Daniels is the best player in the draft, citing his exceptional performance last season. While Williams is projected to be the overwhelming favorite to go first overall at -20000 odds, Daniels and Maye have seen their odds improve in recent days. Daniels is now the favorite to be the second player selected, with -170 odds, while Maye’s chances have risen to +140, giving him a 41.7% chance of being the next quarterback for the Washington Commanders.
