INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels arrived in Indianapolis as Heisman Trophy winners.

Drake Maye is seeking to add to his family’s impressive athletic legacy.

And the only player who might prevent those three talented quarterbacks from going 1-2-3 in this year’s NFL draft appears to be All-America receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

On Friday, the four top prospects attended the league’s scouting combine, and for the next eight weeks, they will be vying for the No. 1 spot.

Williams says it’s always been his plan to be taken No. 1.

But teams have some concerns about him, and he may have created another by opting out of medical exams at the combine.
