In this story:

USC quarterback Caleb Williams already has the most prestigious individual award in college football under his belt, and he's well on his way to being the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

He's still got other lofty goals before he gets there, though. They include a second Heisman Trophy, and a national title for his Trojans.

Also on the list? Topping the GOAT with the most Super Bowl rings in history.

Reading his list for a featured article in GQ Magazine, Williams makes it clear how high he's aiming.

He keeps reading. “And then first pick of the draft,” he says, so matter-of-factly he sounds bored. “And then the other one is, eight Super Bowls.”

Sure, I think to myself. I’ll bite. Eight? Why eight?

“Tom Brady has seven,” he says, not missing a beat. “So you got to set the bar high.”

Williams has a long way to go if he wants to threaten Brady's seven championships, and that road will likely be made even more challenging if he's drafted by the worst team in the league.

He's clearly got the talent to be a special player in the NFL, though, so never say never.
