As pro day quarterbacks tend to do, Caleb Williams entered with a script.

And as tends to happen at pro days, that script required on-field adjustments Wednesday at USC.

The expected No. 1 overall selection of the 2024 NFL Draft was scheduled to throw about 50 times in a routine featuring three receivers.

Then wide receiver John Jackson, a former USC player who finished his career at Nevada, tweaked his hamstring in an earlier drill.
