Quarterbacks could easily dominate the list of rookies to watch in 2024 because six went among the top 12 picks in the draft.
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams warms up before the start of an NFL preseason football game against the Kansas City Chiefs Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024, in Kansas City, Mo.
“Straight off the bat, he’s just a leader,” seventh-year receiver D.J. Moore said. “He took control of the huddle. His arm talent was amazing. I think that’s what stood out to everybody. And him trying to make all those throws this offseason in OTAs was like, ‘Dang, he really just made that.’ Or ‘he just did that on the run.’ It was amazing to see.”The decisions came last week on Daniels, the second overall pick, and Nix, who went 12th.
“You saw in every game he played a dirty pocket, a quick plant step, ball out accurately. And for some guys that’s hard to do, they need a full stride and a clean pocket,” Payton said. “He became a tough sack because the ball is out. Now, you have to go be able to process very quickly, too. You saw that on film.”Taken after Williams and Daniels, Maye figured to be the only one of the three not to start the opener.
Not only was Harrison a two-time All-American at Ohio State, his dad was a Super Bowl champion, three-time All-Pro and member of the NFL’s 2000s All-Decade Team and the Pro Football Hall of Fame. New York tried this three years ago with Kadarius Toney, the 20th overall pick in the first round in 2021, but he didn’t even make it through a second injury-filled season before a trade to Kansas City. The Chiefs just waived Toney in their final cuts.
