MORE MMQB: How the Bills Dug Out of the Snow and Got Their Season Back on Track | Three Deep: How the Commanders Saved Their Season by Not Panicking | Takeaways: How the Raiders Finally Closed a Game; the Lions Are Winning
The last few years, my Six From Saturday notes have been included at the bottom of my MMQB column on Monday mornings. This year, they’ll be published as a separate post each week. Here are my thoughts on this weekend’s college action, geared mostly toward what should be of interest to NFL fans.
1) On Saturday night, I tweeted a true wow throw from USC QB Caleb Williams—one in which he rolled to his left and somehow let loose on a rope of a throw that probably traveled 30 yards in the air and cut through a slew of UCLA defenders to get to receiver Kyle Ford. Now, as we’ve been through here before, there are plenty of guys who’ve had these sorts of flashes early in their college careers, only to flame out before becoming draft-eligible. And the truth is very few NFL types have actually studied Williams, since he’s not draft-eligible until 2024. (I asked one AFC exec who’s watched him play, but hadn’t studied him, and he’d say only, “He can really sling it.”)
