«It's not a thought in my mind,» Williams said. «I don't think I'm not going to be No. 1. I've put in all the hard work. I don't think of a plan B.»

During his three seasons in college — one at Oklahoma and two at USC — Williams accounted for 10,082 passing yards and 93 touchdown passes while also adding 27 scores on the ground.
