NFL Coach: Caleb Williams' 'Transition Scares Me' Coming from Lincoln Riley's Offense

As individual coaches try to convince themselves of reasons that a player might struggle coming into the NFL, one has pointed to Caleb Williams playing in Lincoln Riley's offense as a red flag.

Speaking to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, an anonymous NFL coordinator explained why Riley's system may negatively impact Williams coming into the pros:

"The transition scares me for some of these guys where it's just, set, hike, find the open man," the coordinator said. "And you've seen guys like Kyler [Murray] and Baker [Mayfield] struggle with the transition at times."

Citing Murray and Mayfield as negative examples of the transition from Riley's college offense to the NFL is a bit strange.
