Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams gets top-3 NFL QB ranking from Fox Sports analyst Colin Cowherd

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is one of the most highly debated players in the NFL. There is no question that he is an exceptional talent. After all, he was selected first overall in the 2024 NFL Draft and has already put together two of the best single seasons for a quarterback in Bears franchise history. Additionally, he is on the cover of the next Madden video game.

Over the course of the off-season, many NFL analysts and reporters have debated where Williams ranks among NFL quarterbacks. Many believe he is, at worst, a top-ten quarterback in the league. Others, such as Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports, believe he is even better.

Colin Cowherd says Chicago Bears star Caleb Williams is a top-three quarterback

Recently, Cowherd released his top-ten NFL quarterback rankings. To the surprise of many, Williams was listed as the third-best quarterback in the league:

“I don’t know why people will push back on this. … Folks, he made two plays in the playoffs last year — one against the Green Bay and one against the Rams — that broke football physics. It was early Mahomes. They just didn’t make any sense.

“The throw up the left sideline against Green Bay just made no damn sense. The throw in the back of the end zone against the Rams — what in God’s name is happening? That’s early Mahomes. By the way, lowest interception percentage of any quarterback in league history with 1,110 attempts.”

The only two quarterbacks he has ranked as better than Williams are Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. And for Bears fans wondering, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love was ranked ninth.

Williams is coming into 2026 with more expectations than he has ever had in his brief NFL career. If he is able to live up to them, many more will be ranking him as high as Cowherd, and maybe even higher.
