Several of the NFL’s 2024 first-round picks had their best performances of the season in Week 3.
As they continue to progress throughout the season, we will track their development, PFF grades and principal opponents.
Pick No. 1: Chicago Bears: QB Caleb Williams
Overall Rookie Grade: 48.3 (Rank: 3/3)
Principal Opponent: N/A
Week 3 Snaps: 90
Week 3 Grade: 57.4
Williams had a turbulent day in Indianapolis during which he dropped back 56 times. His accuracy and decision-making improved, though he still threw two interceptions. His primary issue is his play under pressure. Williams was pressured 13 times and completed just four of his nine passes en route to a 37.5 PFF passing grade. Overall, though, this was Williams’ best start so far. He just needs further support from the rest of the Bears’ offense.
