Caleb Williams Opts to Enter NFL Draft Without Agent

The Heisman Trophy winner's unconventional choice could save millions but poses risks in pre-draft negotiations and misinformation management.

Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, has decided to enter the 2024 NFL Draft without an agent, a move that could save him approximately $1.15 million in fees.
This unconventional choice raises concerns about Williams' ability to navigate the pre-draft process, including managing misinformation and engaging with NFL teams.
NFL teams typically prefer dealing with agents, who act as negotiators and buffers, potentially putting Williams at a disadvantage.
Despite the risks, Williams' confidence in his draft status and his support system may mitigate the need for an agent.
Other top quarterback prospects for the draft, such as Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels, have chosen to work with renowned agents.
