USC quarterback Caleb Williams disagrees with Greg McElroy's assessment that the projected No. 1 pick of the 2024 draft has "never experienced adversity."

McElroy, the former Alabama quarterback and current college football analyst for ESPN, expressed concern about what he called Williams' "sense of entitlement" this week on Kevin Clark's This Is Football podcast.

"Let's go back to school again," Williams wrote in his response to McElroy on X, before describing the injuries and roster limitations he faced in one season with Oklahoma and two with USC.

Williams referred to earning the title of starting quarterback in the seventh game of his freshman season with the Sooners.

The quarterback also mentioned the hamstring injury he suffered during USC's 2023 Pac-12 Championship loss to Utah, as well as the 7-5 record the Trojans recorded during his 12 starts last season.

This isn't the first time Williams has expressed the conviction that the outcome of the 2023 conference title game would have been different had he not hurt his hamstring during a 59-yard run in the first quarter of the game.

Williams was limited from making his usual runs during the rest of the 47-24 loss.

"The outcome could have been a little different if I was healthy that last game and I truly believe that," Williams said in February 2023 on ESPN's SportsCenter (h/t 237Sports' Kevin Flaherty.)

This is also not the only time Williams has described the difficulties of finishing his college career with a 7-5 record.

"This was one of my most important years of playing football so far," Williams said in November, per Ryan Kartje of the Los Angeles Times.

"I've never been in this situation, where I'm 7-5 and there are no playoff hopes at the end of the season I'm dealing with it emotionally, dealing with it spiritually and physically. It's been one of the most important years I think I've had."

Williams told Kartje he had talks with USC head coach Lincoln Riley, as well as his family, as to "how to stay the same person I was before the season or after our first loss or second loss."

After finishing out one of the most disappointing seasons in college football, Williams was not interested in hearing comments on his lack of adversity, even if he has had better injury luck than other draft quarterbacks like Washington's Michael Penix Jr.

Williams finished his college career with 10,082 passing yards and 966 rushing yards. After marking 120 total touchdowns and four interceptions over three seasons, he is now expected to join the Chicago Bears with the top pick of the upcoming draft.
