While everyone believes Jayden Daniels is the best, the former Cowboys‘ defensive end has his own opinion. Chris Canty believes the Bears‘ QB is in the best situation to succeed. Canty is one of the few people from the NFL who has taken Caleb Williams over the Commanders‘ quarterback.
This gossip began when Williams was selected first and Daniels was selected second at the top of the draft. Both players have performed brilliantly in their college careers, and now it will be interesting to see who proves to be better in their new journey.
Chris Canty on the Bears’ No. 1 overall pick
In an appearance on ESPN Radio, Chris Canty shared his opinion about the Bears quarterback. He believes the Bears’ quarterback is in the best situation with more raw materials to work with than Daniels in Washington. Following the conversation, he even mentioned players supporting Williams this season.
Canty questioned why everyone thinks Jayden Daniels will outperform Caleb Williams. “From a talent standpoint, he’s got a lot more raw materials to work with than Jayden Daniels in Washington. Why are we supposed to believe that Jayden Daniels is going to show so much better than Caleb Williams in their rookie years,” Canty said.
Canty believes the Bears are fielding a strong offense that includes DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze. He thinks these game plans are designed to highlight Williams’ strengths and minimize the rookie’s challenges.
DJ Moore, who has performed well even with a quarterback with limited experience, could be a key player for the Bears. Moore demonstrated a strong trust with starting quarterback Kyle Allen in 2019. In his time with the Panthers, he had 1175 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns that season.
On the other hand, Keenan Allen stands strong to support the team with a career total of more than 10, 000 rushing yards and 59 touchdowns. In 2017, he had a total of 1393 receiving yards and 6 touchdowns, playing alongside veteran quarterback Philip Rivers, which reflects his importance for the rookie quarterback.
College career of Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels
Williams showed tremendous play in his college career, while Daniels surprised everyone with his passing and movement.
Only time will tell who proves to be greater between Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels. The Bears’ Williams must shine with their strong team, while Daniels might take advantage of the new coaching setup. It will be interesting to see how both of them maintain their great college form in the NFL.
