Caleb Williams, a highly regarded quarterback prospect known for his generational talent and business-minded approach, has opted not to undergo medical exams at the NFL Combine, according to his first interview since declaring for the draft. This decision marks a significant departure from the norm for players, especially for someone of Williams' stature, who is considered the presumed top pick in the upcoming draft. Williams has also chosen not to allow his medical records to be shared with all 32 NFL teams, a move that is unprecedented according to league sources. Instead, he plans to conduct medical exams with teams on an individual basis during the pre-draft process. This strategy underscores Williams' unique leverage and approach to the draft, setting him apart from other prospects and making him the first combine invitee to take such a stance.
