Rookie Watch: Caleb Williams’ First NFL Win

Caleb Williams has officially arrived. The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft led his team to their first victory of the season — and his first as a pro — in a thrilling performance that reminded fans why he was so highly touted.

Williams showcased poise beyond his years, completing 26 of 34 passes for 295 yards and two touchdowns, while adding another score on the ground. But more impressive than the numbers was his command of the offense. He read defenses like a veteran, extended plays with his mobility, and delivered clutch throws in crucial moments.

In the postgame interview, Williams said, “It’s just the beginning. I’m learning every week, and I’ve got a great team behind me.” That confidence — coupled with his undeniable skill — is exactly what fans and coaches have been hoping to see.

With his first win under his belt, the question now is: how fast can he grow from promising rookie to franchise leader? If this debut performance is any indication, the Caleb Williams era could be starting sooner than anyone expected.
