Cam Newton: Caleb Williams' Inability to Make 'Bold Play' Can 'Be His Curse' in NFL

Former NFL superstar quarterback Cam Newton reviewed the top six quarterback prospects in the upcoming NFL draft (both the good and the bad) on his 4th and 1 podcast.

Newton had a lot to say about projected No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, most positively stating that he agreed with comparisons to three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes. But he also noted some concerns as well (1:00:25 mark).

"I think his gift can and possibly will be his curse...his inability to make the bold play," Newton said.

He then described the type of moment where people perceive that a quarterback is about to make a big mistake before making a great play.
