Full disclosure: I'm still pulling for Fields and I don't watch college football.
With that in mind, if we do move on from Fields, I wanted to get my head around how the basic stats of Williams & Maye compare to recent #1s overall.
Main Takeaway: Statistically speaking, vs prior #1 picks, Williams is middle of the pack and Maye is bottom in almost every main category.
Follow-up Questions for those of you who know and watch college football:
- Can someone explain why Caleb Williams is talked about as being "generational" or a can't pass up?
- Can someone explain why there is so much love on Drake Maye? Honestly, his figures are extremely similar (maybe worse) than Trubisky. Given they went to the same school, that is quite concerning.

Thank you these are the stats that matter. I would say the chances on Bears are even lower considering weak roster and bad coaching
