Caleb Williams, USC vs. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado to Be Scouted by 21 NFL Teams

When the No. 8 USC Trojans and reigning Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Caleb Williams clash with quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder, Colorado, on Saturday, most NFL teams will be well represented.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, 30 scouts from 21 different teams will be in attendance at Folsom Field.

Thamel noted that in addition to Williams being the favorite to go No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL draft, scouts are "intrigued" with Sanders' hot start to the season.

After transferring from Oklahoma to USC prior to last season and following head coach Lincoln Riley, Williams enjoyed a spectacular campaign.

While the Trojans barely missed out on the College Football Playoff, Williams completed 66.6 percent of his passes for 4,537 yards, 42 touchdowns and five interceptions, while also rushing for 382 yards and 10 scores.

In four games so far this season, Williams has USC off to a 4-0 start, and he has arguably been even better individually, completing 74.3 percent of his passing attempts for 1,200 yards, 15 touchdowns and no picks, along with 71 yards and three touchdowns on the ground.

If Williams keeps up his current play, he could join legendary Ohio State running back Archie Griffin as only the second two-time Heisman Trophy winner in college football history.

Sanders is also in the Heisman race, as he has the Buffs off to a better-than-expected 3-1 start. He is also putting up big-time numbers in his own right.

The son of Hall of Fame cornerback and Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders, Shedeur is completing 76.9 percent of his passes for 1,410 yards, 11 touchdowns and just one interception. He has also rushed for a score.

Sanders' protection has been lacking and he doesn't have much of a running game to support him, which perhaps makes his success even more impressive.

Shedeur and the Buffaloes came back down to Earth last week after a 3-0 start, as they were thumped 42-6 by Oregon on the road, but a bounce back Saturday could go a long way toward getting them back on track for the remainder of the season.

As of now, Williams and North Carolina's Drake Maye are widely considered the top two quarterbacks in the 2024 draft class, but if Sanders can go shot for shot with Williams on Saturday, he may put himself in that conversation, provided to decides to enter the draft.
