Caleb Williams shined, Jayden Daniels furthered his Rookie of the Year case and Drake Maye made his first NFL start.

As the first-rounders continue to progress, we will track their development, PFF grades and principal opponents.


Pick No. 1: Chicago Bears: QB Caleb Williams

Overall Rookie Grade: 63.1 (Rank: 2/3)
Principal Opponent: N/A
Week 6 Snaps: 63
Week 6 Grade: 87.9

Williams was in control as he marched to his best day of the season in a win over Jacksonville. He was fantastic when working within structure and posted an outstanding 87.2 PFF passing grade from a clean pocket. He also earned new career bests, with four passing touchdowns and an incredible 95.8% adjusted completion rate.

Williams is finding his rhythm as the Bears have turned to a more balanced approach on offense.
