2 years ago he got compared to him and he told the reporter something along the lines of "I don't see anything Mahomes does that I can't do". I then went and posted in some thread in Draft Planet that I was all the way out on Williams. Solely because he was delusional enough to think he could be Mahomes.
Now, he may be Mahomes, but Mahomes got to Mahomes through humility and an incomprehensible amount of hard work, not because he existed.
I may be wrong, but that's the way I saw it at the time. He certainly is talented.

He was asked about Mahomes comparisons over and over and over again. He started by saying that he was flattered but he was Caleb Williams and Mahomes was Mahomes. Then eventually Colin Cowherd asked him about the comparisons and it came to his saying that he views that as respect. But he added that while he's not in Mahomes' brain, he doesn't think there are things Mahomes does physically that he cannot do. So?
I don't think he lacks humility as much as you like to think. And do you really think Williams got to where he was because he existed and not because he too put in an incomprehensible amount of hard work?
This was from an article when he was a sophomore in high school:

For Williams, who is 6-foot-1 and weighs 205 pounds, having a trainer has been a part of his life since he was 10 years old. He spends every day of his summer either at Gonzaga workouts, at Athletic Republic with his quarterback trainer Russell Thomas and sports performance trainer Mark McCain, working with his other quarterback coach Chris Baucia, or swimming or doing yoga — two of the many non-football activities he participates in as part of his training.
