2. Caleb Williams had too many passes batted at the line of scrimmage 

One of the big pre-combine debates was how tall Caleb Williams would be. It was notable when he checked in slightly above 6’1”, but even his current height is in the 20th percentile amongst NFL quarterbacks. He is a bit shorter. So, that is why the fact that Williams had three passes batted at the line of scrimmage is worth bringing up. 

That would put him on pace for 51 passes swatted down. That will not happen, and it better not because last season, Sam Howell led the NFL with 17 passes batted down. Williams currently leads the NFL with his three. 

Justin Fields had 23 passes batted down at the line during his entire career, a 2.7% rate. Caleb Williams has seen 10% of his passes swatted away. Williams has to learn the arm angles, and the timing will improve. Still, this cannot be something that continues week in and week out. If he has a few more passes rejected at the line again next week then this has to be something that concerns fans.
