Features CALEB WILLIAMS - the quarterback of a resurgent University of Southern California football team, and quite suddenly the pride and joy of Los Angeles - steps off a tinted-window party bus in the Dodger Stadium parking lot. THE TIMING OF Williams's emergence in LA couldn't be better, thanks to the NCAA's new policy allowing athletes to ink promotional deals and earn money from their name, image, and likeness (NIL). His presence speaks to the only-in-LA life afforded to a quarterback who makes USC great: The Dodgers have invited Williams to throw out the game's first pitch. The specific nature of their relationship - Riley served as head coach, offensive play caller, and quarterbacks coach - meant that Williams didn't really have anyone on staff to talk to besides Riley, and now Riley was gone.
