Caleb Williams has been a projected first overall pick for several years now, but Deion Sanders says there is one thing that concerns him about Williams' NFL future.
Going from college football to the NFL is already enough of an adjustment, but Caleb Williams will have one more factor to deal with, Deion Sanders says. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner is likely to be the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, which is held by the Chicago Bears. Williams has spent the last two years at the University of Southern California after spending a season at Oklahoma.
The 22-year-old grew up in Washington, D.C., so he's not totally a stranger to the northeast. However, Sanders is concerned Williams will be going from playing the majority of his football in warm weather to potential frigid temperatures. 'Let me tell you something that I have a problem with. And this kid can flat out play. I think he’s the best one on the board this year for sure. A kid that’s coming from California for the last couple years, right? And went to Oklahoma.
Like, I don’t want my kid going nowhere cold next year. He grew up in Texas. He played in Jackson, played in Colorado. Season’s over before it gets cold in Colorado. I’m just thinking way ahead. I don’t want that for him.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
