everybody uh it’s Caleb Williams here
and uh let’s get ready for the show
sound clip
14 let’s do
it Williams stood right in and delivers
it to
Washington my style of play um I’d say
it’s Fierce Williams comes in what a
throw dominating unique you have to be
there to see it Caleb Williams is AB
absolutely ludicrous my ability to throw
from any platform uh with any arm angle
and my ability to throw on the run and
now flips it to a man touchdown USC
troes so whether it’s in Pocket out of
pocket and able to deliver the ball to
my guys Caleb Williams QB University of
Southern
California super he’s not a dog he’s a
beast he’s the heart and soul of the
room every time you walk him um there’s
many pictures of him with his tongue
hanging out and he has this big old
smile on his face and it’s just uh after
a tough game or or even a really good
game and you’re exhausted you just want
to you know just go lay down with the
with the big chunky dude it’s my little
[Music]
guy his nickname comes from my nickname
on the field my coach whenever there’s a
big moment in a game he always say
Superman wears his cape uh regardless if
it was bad or good I think I pull my
Cape out when I do things with my
Foundation I think another time I pull
my Cape out is it’s time to go finish
the
game my dad has heavily influence my
football career and me as a man he’s
never missed a game neither as my mom um
shout out mom he’s there for everything
if I need him there in a heartbeat he’ll
show up he walks to the beat of his own
drum and and he does things his way you
know if things AR working for him he
finds a way to you know make the best of
it so I’ve learned a lot from him and uh
you know
love you
Pops the draft means so much to me
because as I promised myself when I was
about 5 foot nothing promised that
little guy that I would do it this is
just one of the check marks that I can
check off you know it’s actually come to
fruition and you I can’t wait to to get
back on a team and get ready to go win
games
[Music]
I would describe my style of play as you
know Blue Collar JJ McCarthy perfectly
in the bucket finesse steps up head as
he throws doesn’t matter touchdown
Michigan being able to play
instinctually and react to every
situation that get thrown at me McCarthy
the one handed grab cautious downhill to
Roman Wilson just trying to lead my boys
out to
battle I’m all about winning football
games I’m the ultimate teammate and at
the end of the day all that matters is
just perfecting my craft and being the
best version of myself Fires for Wilson
he got it JJ McCarthy quarterback at the
University of
Michigan how I got into meditation I was
battling depression I wasn’t fortunate
enough to have the self-c courage to
talk to somebody about it so I just went
straight to finding better ways to
improve my mental health I would say the
difference between before and after I
meditate is a sense of centering my
being I’m not thinking about the next
day I’m not thinking about the
interception I threw in practice I’m
just completely here and
now ha Michigan they are the champions
of college football 2023 winning the
national championship what it means to
me is all the hard work not just going
back to this past year but since I
started picking up a football when I was
7 years old is paying off and it’s not
the end it’s just another that we
climbed as a team and there’s another
mountain to climb and many more to
[Music]
come when I get drafted honestly the
only feeling that I’m going to feel is
let’s get to work you know this is
something that I’ve been dreaming for my
entire life but I know it’s just another
stepping stone along the way for the
goals that I want to accomplish I’ll
still be starving I’ll still be ready to
go out there with you know my new
brothers and work to win a multiple
championships so feel like my career is
just beginning
[Music]
yeah so there’s a bit of a dent in in
the good old tunnel but I think they’ll
be all right Romo dun Romo dun
University of Washington wide open wide
receiver o dun is that new
[Music]
people say Odun zo Odun Odun anything
you can imagine is fun to see the
different ways that people pronounce it
but for the record Rome
Odun my first football memory was when I
was 6 years old and I remember my first
season we lost nearly every single game
I started off my football career getting
humbled almost every other week had
humble beginnings for sure
is a beautiful place I got to go to my
grandparents dairy farm when I was
younger during Summers my my father and
sisted that I would go out there and
work with my grandpa and it taught me a
lot of lessons when you you know digg in
ditches and having to shovel poop out of
stalls and milkk cows and something that
taught me a lot of work
ethic fade and is CAU it’s touchdown o I
would say my style of play is versatile
I can play inside I can play outside I
can go up and catch a contested ball
it’s over the middle CRA first down I do
it all pretty much wherever the team
wants to put me where the offense want
to utilize me I can get the job
done something to
[Applause]
say the draft means so much to me cuz
it’s been now a 15-year-old dream
feeling emotional you know feeling
excited stressed about who I’m gonna hug
who who am I going to embrace and having
to walk across that stage and you know
have all those cameras in my face going
through that dream really just super
grateful for for all the people that
have supported me for God you know
gracing me with so many different
opportunities and walking across that
stage being one of them but man what a
moment and action intercepted by the
Crimson Tides Teran Arnold my style of
play is electrified terion Arnold I’m
the type of person when you come into
the games I’m saying man I don’t know
what terion is going to do today but
it’s going to be something amazing
terion Arnold what an interception I
pride myself on just putting on a show
at the end of the day we’re entertainers
so it’s my job to go out there and
represent a show that they’ve never seen
before hoping that they come back is
batted away Teran Arnold with great
hands Tyrion Arnold defensive back the
University of
Alabama my maintenance man Mr Bigs Joe
bigs man I used to work with him during
my free periods and that was one of the
greatest things that ever happened to me
just being around him learning his story
knowing everything that he stood for he
always used to tell me man terion you
treat me way better than I should be
treated I said no Mr Bigs you treat me
better than I should be treated
because you give me a lot of Life advice
and I love hearing your stories so I
went back and gifted him with my
jersey yeah I love it yeah I give them
my college jerseys so after I get
drafted Mr Big just know wherever I go
you getting that Jersey
too I’m pretty sure y’all see that my
interview skills and stuff like that but
like I tell people I’m really an actor
but I’m a better rapper I can really rap
for real you want something right now I
do yes
[Music]
I say make it at your city they going to
envy you I watch them change when I was
broke just look how pennies do I put all
my brothers on I swear I’m living proof
remember Wishing on the start now they
in the roof that’s how y’all get right
now
though the drave means so much to me
because from a very young age I knew
this was something I could accomplish
I’ve told everybody I was going to do
this I’ve seen it happen before stja Vu
family might get a little emotional I
told him don’t cry just celebrate but
they probably probably a cry I don’t
think I’m going cry though but if I do
cry y’all can show this
clip and my style plays you know I try
to do it all play inside the pocket make
plays outside the pocket you’ll take
over a game to the for it down the line
touchdown we something happen I like the
ball in my hands going to keep it going
left oh my goodness he threw it to the
end zone and it’s caught Drake May
quarterback University of North
[Music]
Carolina I’m from a small town right
outside Char North Carolina called
Huntersville took got the same house
there my dad was a three sport athlete
in high school went on to play
quarterback in North Carolina him and my
mom are with me with every decision I
make Drake surely got some toughness
being little brother and going to throw
it deep here and another beautiful
toss being the youngest of four boys you
know I was the run of the family for a
little bit and I’m still you the
shortest of them all but at the end of
the day you know the biggest thing for
me is you know having three of my best
friends in life as my brothers and you
can’t really ask for something better
than
that my dad was a graduate assistant for
Coach Brown back in his first in at
North Carolina the hype train of Mack is
back is real and I started with Sam how
touchdown T Sam Howell and I just try to
take over kind of Make some noise in the
football World B takes off and has room
at the 10 at the five Drake mayor
touchdown Sam’s you one my best friends

offseason throw go together you know
play golf and and you know in the
offseason and I think he’s been a great
mentor to me you my Pressman year in
North
Carolina I should NFL team draft me you
know I think the biggest thing is you
know my work ethic I’m in there ready to
do whatever the team’s needs prepare
myself somebody in the game right now I
think Josh Allen I think the way he
competes the way he you know runs around
out there and making big time throws and
he got a little more sweaty than I do
but uh at the same time he about ball
Greatful keep it and score how about
that you know hear your name called on
draft night is something you always you
know dream about and you know being at
the draft and you know being there with
my close ones my loved ones so you know
really a dream comes true and the dream
doesn’t sto
[Music]
there if you drive me what you’re
getting is a Workhorse no player will
ever play a perfect game one thing I
will do is I’m going to give you
everything I have that’s the only thing
I can promise you just to show you that
you did not make a mistake you Dro me
first I want to say I haven’t thought
about it at all it’s the dream of about
it you know just getting my name called
make my friends and my family proud and
prove that everyone that hard work pays
off J RSE Edge FL State
University my style play is real
aggressive you know I’m going to get
after you like no matter what position
you are on the field offensively if
you’re a tight end quarterback running
back wide receiver who all the way split
out near the sideline I’m still going to
get you taken down by Jared first no
matter where you at I’m after you you
can’t get away from this he is sack and
that is Jared
P I feel like the one thing that
separates me above all else is just my
work e think everyone works hard but I
genuinely breathe
this
31 my dad went and bought a bench he
bought 215 lb dumbbells 235 lb dumbbells
parked his car and the colder sack every
day so we could have the garage to lift
me and my little sister before my dad
bought the weights and stuff literally
we had a food T in my room I had my bed
and I had the food time so I literally
just benched the food time we just tried
to get after
it when I hear my name call I can’t even
think about the feeling right now you
know it kind of gets me like get me
hyped up you know a lot of people have
their emotions run through them I think
for me I just might be like in shock
might just be in awe like I’m expecting
it but like I’m also not expecting it
I’m going to be ecstatic
[Applause]
wait till you see this
one and you know who it is Malik
neighbors is just liting it
up my style of play um aggressive and
Neighbors comes up with it smooth I’m a
fast guy got great hand hands he’s got
it so I’m a pretty good playmaker on the
outside and in the slot I’m good with
the ball in my hand neighbors holds it
in the game I like the dance so I would
say funny when you’re so built up for
the game you can get overhype just so
tight for the game you know when I score
tou on you know I like to let the fans
get intrigued with the game touchdown
LSU know we just scor a touchdown
supposed to have
fun Malik neighbors Louisiana State
University wide receiver
I started off playing at 15 707 I played
Louisiana with the boot
[Music]
layers we went to different um 707s
around the
country we really started the ballal
head crew we really started that it was
from Louisiana the boot leers I started
that we call it
ballhead ballhead is like like head top
like going over somebody head and
catching the
ball you know we had a little film guy
that always used to record us just head
topping a lot of those cornerbacks and I
believe that’s where my recruiting
really took off from let’s go baby we
got that Mal we got
that oh my goodness wide open a
touchdown Malik neighbors I think the
team should draft me because I’m the
best receiver in this draft I think you
know stats don’t lie it is Neighbors
again I’m a great dog I’m a leader when
I’m out there on the field leader off
the field field so that’s why I believe
you know team should drive
me the emotion of you know having all my
family has been there for me since day
one draft day will be here a year from
now I started late plan so they really
Ain know it was a possibility for me to
make it here so you know having those
guys on that have seen me go through a
lot over the years you know it Reigns a
lot of emotion but I’m hoping not to cry
my style of play I like to call it
controlled aggression one to run first
down and a lot more I come from a very
competitive environment at Penn State
where we’re forced to compete with each
other day in and day out that’s the type
of guy I am touchdown pen State Ola
fashion offensive tackle Penn State
University my biggest inspiration is
definitely my parents just their whole
story in general is really inspirational
to me you know being from Nigeria moving
here in the late 80s basically coming to
a completely new country completely new
lifestyle you know it’s not something
easy to do and they made the most out of
it they made sure that my sister and I
had the best and most enjoyable
childhood is possible and they’ll
forever be my
inspiration something very Dee rooted in
Nigerian culture is discipline and
that’s something that my parents
instilled in me from a young age just
always taking care of business business
on and off the field on the field you
know in terms of football performing to
the highest level day in and day out and
also taking care of business off the
field so you know completing schoolwork
and being able to graduate
[Music]
college the draft means so much to me I
mean it’s going to be Indescribable this
is a moment that I’ve been dreaming for
for so long this has been a goal of mine
for a very long time and it’s taken a
lot of hard work and dedication a lot of
effort from not only myself but you know
the entire Community around me and when
that opportunity comes I’m definitely
going to embrace everyone who’s been
with me from the start a thank you will
never be enough but it’s the very least
I can do you know say thank you give
everyone the biggest hug in the world
and just keep going
y ready
yeah 3 2

to run by you and to Juke you I’m a full
package for again goes airborne and he’s
in I bring that winning mentality cuz
that’s the only thing that
matters stretching for that go line
touchdown Michigan Blake Corum
University of Michigan running back
[Music]
my style of play I’m versatile nice in
and out move on inside Zone outside Zone
I can bring the power I can bring the
Juke moves joystick feel like I can do
it all Michigan my ability to make last
second reads I’m really patient and
Bam
and my mom and my dad are my inspiration
they literally mean everything to me and
I can’t repay them enough for what
they’ve done they have their own
business and just watching them just
that Hustler that mindset that no one
will outwork you uh that’s where I get
my mindset from so Mom and Dad thank you
so much I have a tattoo that means a lot
to me and it’s of a house I grew up in
for a little bit my mom grew up in it my
dad’s grandfather worked on a farm but
I’m in Pursuit right now to try to buy
it back I don’t even want to live there
I want to create a camp for kids I’ll
call it Farm frog fully rely on God so
I’m hoping one day I can buy it back and
allow other kids from all over the area
come enjoy it like I
did hear in my name called draft KN will
be truly inspirational because of all
the sacrifice and all the hard work I
wanted to be here I wanted to live out
my dream I wanted to make it to the NFL
so whatever team gets me just know it’s
not touchdowns it’s not rushing yards
it’s being a team player and trying to
bring a Super Bowl to the organization
Jaden Daniels he’s going to take a shot
why not another perfect throw from Jaden
Daniels I mean it’s great quarterbacks
in this class but the skills that that
separate me is I feel my playmaking
ability quarterback draw the Seas part
is looking for the End Zone touchdown
Jane Daniels quarterback LSU there goes
Daniels
[Music]
again growing up what made me want to
play the quarterback position was
Donovan McNab and Michael Vic McNab
fires and it is complete for a touchdown
Vick breaks the tackle and he is gone
watching those guys and playing with
Michael Vic on Madden you know when he
had like 100 speed just being able to
run around so that would drew me into
playing
quarterback I just love watching good
quarterback play I don’t like comparing
myself but I’ll say somebody we have
similarities as lar Jackson quarterback
run right up the middle goes Daniels boy
he’s tougher to bring down than you
would think I’m a quarterback that can
make plays both with his arm and with
his feet Daniel he wants a shot in the
end zone touchdown I could throw a
touchdown for 80 yards or I can run for
80 yards J Daniels Off to the Races and
he takes it to the
house I was a 2023 Heisman Trophy winner
when I heard my name call I was just
happy it was three other great finalists
up there that that could have won the
award too so just being a part of that
for eternity you know all the grace that
came through it’s a blessing no matter
where I go I always be remember as a
Heisman winner going to launch it to the
endzone my oh my how about Jaden
Daniels the dag means a lot to me
because this is something that I dreamt
about work for my whole life so hear my
name called walk across the sage and say
commissioner’s hand be a s moment I
believe NFL team should draft me one
because they’re getting a hard worker
just my leadership and my experience
I’ve been through this is a dream for me
and dreams turn to
reality I love football so much because
my other personality trench King TK gets
to just really let loose and be
free all day just the style of play of
being physical is just you know absolute
fun to me I mean there’s no reason to
not love football y already know what it
is man JC Lam University of Alabama
office laming
trench King is what I D myself in high
school it was really manifested more
once I started getting into
sport you it’s different from JC because
you know TK he he plays with no rules no
limitations no boundaries we can have it
J’s more self-control and more calm and
steady going so it’s two different
people my first football memory I punted
the ball like 30 40 yards when I was
like third grade everybody was amazed
that’s how I got into football I was a
kicker and punter hey I’m ooo really
check this out Chad ooo is going to kick
the extra point I ain’t going to
miss all my tattoos mean something my
grandma through it she never got to see
me play so I kind of take her everywhere
with me and I try to keep it in my heart
I always play extra hard for her because
somewhere out there I feel like she’s
just watching over me and then I got two
younger sisters and a younger brother
who might not have the opportunity to
live out the dream that I’ve been living
out so I just want to give him the best
chance and opportunities that’s out
there for
them it’s special being part of Nick s
last class is definitely special has all
day and on the run a good game wish we
would have went out on top send them
home in glory but it means a lot to me
it’s close to my
heart the draft is going to be an unreal
experience going to Alabama and living
out that dream and now being able to
live out that next step of being in the
NFL it’s just it’s
[Music]
amazing one day after practice Tennessee
media crew walked up to me with an
orange and we was going to the Orange
Bowl so they told me they was going to
make a video for me where I throw the
orange as far as I can and then it’ll
land in Miami to see how far we can
throw this Orange right here let’s do it
and then I grabbed the orange and I just
let it go uh played a little bit of
baseball back in the day growing up so I
was able to just grab an orange and
throw 110 yards Joe Milton quarterback
University of
Tennessee I’m from pooki Florida m city
born and raised and for hokei it’s a
tradition to catch rabbits so when the
can feels burning you see like the black
ash coming into your the front yard and
once you see it you know it’s time to go
who chase get fast help your agility a
lot of guys did it growing up my cousin
qu bden did it Rick and Jackson that was
how you chose your position at po
Florida and I caught enough rabbits to
become a
quarterback why should the NFL team
draft
meon to take a shot because the way that
I make plays I love to win also I
compete at everything that I do Tennesse
I just be me regardless um no matter
what I don’t let anything affect me
never let nobody see you sweat you know

him this draft means so much to me my
name is car emotions going to be all
over the place my 2-year-old sister will
be on my lap and I will shed some tears
I’m not going to sit in front of the
camera and lie but I will shed some
tears ready to work regardless of what
happens or wherever I go cuz it’s is a
special moment for me but also for my
family I’ll be the first kid in my mom’s
family to get it done

just kind of a place of peace and quiet

size to my advantage tremendous blocks
out front by Joe I’m a longer athlete so
being able to use my my length and pass
row and mirr with my athletic feet
plenty of time in the pocket and in the
Run game you know using my length to get
on Defenders and St before they can get

grown up loving football because of him
playing and been around it he’s taught
me so much me and my dad’s kind of
relationship with like football really
kind of got tight sophomore your he
school with started with training
actually running and lifting and as I
progressed into college it was the film
study aspect he gets to learn I get to
learn but most importantly I get to
learn the draft means so much to me is I
think simpl as terms it’s hard work
paying off I really pride myself on hard
work and being a guy who’s committed to
getting better each and every day you
