Ex-QB McElroy's Harsh Draft Words for Williams

Former college star and NFL backup Greg McElroy isn't holding back, throwing shade at Caleb Williams' NFL prospects by saying he's coasted without facing real adversity. McElroy speaks from experience, right? With a cushy college run and a career safe in the shadow of a top-tier running squad—not to mention a receiver like Julio Jones—some might call the pot calling the kettle black!

Caleb Hits Back with Adversity Receipts

Caleb Williams isn't taking it lying down—no sir! Amidst McElroy's claim of an easy ride, Williams brought out his own track record of trials faced head-on.

The real talk? While QBs often land in the NFL trenches, dealing with the heat is part of the game. But Williams is in another league, proving his mettle time and again against adversity that McElroy can only imagine.
