Cowherd: Caleb Williams Still Underrated Despite Madden 27 Cover

Selected No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams is the third-youngest player to grace the Madden cover at age 24. Cowherd argues that the quarterback is still overlooked because he breaks the traditional mold of past top picks like Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, and Joe Burrow.

Pointing to Williams' unique style—including painted fingernails, off-platform throwing ability, and status as the first Gen Z quarterback—Cowherd notes that sports often demand strict order and wins over individuality. Williams is coming off a strong 12-5 season with 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions, leading the Bears to seven fourth-quarter or overtime victories. afnews.co.za
