The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this week features hundreds of NFL prospects going through drills, taking measurements, meeting with team officials, and getting medical examinations. One exception to that final part of this week’s combine is one of the top-rated prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft: USC quarterback Caleb Williams.
The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner is predicted to go first overall to the Chicago Bears in most mock drafts. And he says the decision to skip medical evaluations in Indianapolis is simple: he won’t be available in the draft for more than a couple of teams.

“For the medical stuff, I’ll be doing the medical stuff, just not here in Indy. I’ll be doing it at the team interviews,” Williams told reporters Thursday. “Not 32 teams can draft me. There’s only one of me. So, the teams that I go to for my visit, those teams will have the medical. And that will be it.”
