Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Trojans, is one of the top picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. According to a source, Caleb Williams, the predicted top choice in the 2024 NFL Draft, wants to own a piece of any team that selects him first overall in the upcoming draft.
Though he has been compared to Andrew Luck as the ideal quarterback prospect, many are confused by his most recent demand. He has been scouted constantly by NFL teams as of late.
There is almost no chance that this will occur. Since the NFL has already forbade teams from awarding stock interests to players and staff, it isn’t even worth speculating on.

Fans are going to be shocked by what Caleb is allegedly wanting, but there’s no denying that NFL players should be compensated, and that their contracts should likely be similar to baseball’s.

Following his worst-ever performance in a Trojans uniform—a 48-20 loss to Notre Dame—Williams completed 23 of 37 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown against three interceptions.
A top draft prospect may potentially earn more money through the NIL to remain in college than an NFL organization could through the rookie wage scale. The NFL team would be without a top prospect if the prospect decides to bypass the draft in order to earn more money in college.
However, athletes should never attempt to execute such move because of the high risk of injury.
