INDIANAPOLIS — Caleb Williams marketed the decision differently.
As USC’s star quarterback confirmed he was indeed declining to participate in medical evaluations at the NFL scouting combine, he clarified that he wasn’t declining to undergo medical evaluations altogether.
Rather, Williams will cycle through medical evaluations with teams whom he visits in the coming weeks leading up to the NFL Draft. The decision is more unusual than Williams’ accompanying choice to decline throwing at the combine. But the quarterback who’s nearly a lock to be drafted in the top two, and is currently BetMGM’s odds-on favorite to go first overall, explained his logic.
