Chris Rock is a man of many talents. He is a hilarious comedian, an actor, a producer, and now he appears to be venturing into recruiting top NFL prospects to play for his favorite team, the New York Jets. The comedian attended the USC men’s basketball game on Thursday night where he ran into Caleb Williams, the projected top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

USC won the game on Thursday night rallying behind Isaiah Collier’s 19-point performance. Chris Rock made his recruitment pitch to Williams by saying, 

The Jets, that's who you want, so bad. You want the Jets.

Coincidentally, the quarterback for the USC Trojans was sporting an olive green hoodie, the exact shade of green that the Jets uniforms are.

The comedian made a rather compelling argument by attempting to scare Williams about landing up on other teams, 

You don't want no Chicago, you want to go to the Jets, you don't want to go to the Redskins...there's no place you'd rather play than the Jets.

After witnessing what the Chicago Bears have done with Justin Fields, no quarterback from the draft class would willingly wish to be in that culture.

Caleb Williams could be a great backup for Aaron Rodgers on the Jets

The Redskins are not the best team either but they are still better when compared to the Bears, however, Chris Rock is setting himself up for disappointment as the New York Jets do not have a top-10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Caleb Williams is bound to be a top 3 draft pick, if not the first pick.

The quarterback could not believe that Chris Rock was actually trying to recruit him and he was losing it with laughter. The comedian ultimately asked him, “Where do you want to live?” as New York is definitely a great place to reside in when compared to other cities that have NFL teams.

The New York Jets are struggling on offense because of an early setback at the QB position. Aaron Rodgers went down the first game of the season and Zach Wilson has taken over. Despite having improved from last season, the Jets’ O-line struggles have resulted in the young quarterback not being able to perform at the highest level.

Chris Rock has been born and brought up in Brooklyn and hence is a die-hard Jets’ fan. The team is 4-4 this season and while their defense has shown that it is legit, the struggles on the offensive end have negatively impacted the team.

Caleb Williams is likely to land up in Chicago as the team has the most odds to land the first pick in the draft. The USC Trojans are 7-3 this season and are set to play No.6 Oregon on Saturday night.
