Breaking news: Caleb Williams announce his departure, stating his reasons….

Johnson is basically saying to Williams that he shouldn’t come in cocky, expecting to have the same success he did in college. At the same time, though, Johnson recognizes that Williams being selected by the Bears means he’s the next franchise quarterback, so obviously they want to do everything possible to make sure he can help them win games.

“I think there’s a fine line between trying to prove a point to him, but also getting to know him,” Johnson said. “At the end of the day, we want him to be the absolute best he can be. That’s what we’re bringing him in for, to win games. Truly just learning who he is as a person and learning him deeper than just all the Hollywood stuff you see, but actually trying to learn and get to know him and then knowing from there what pushes him.”

Johnson mentions Hollywood because Williams spent time with the USC Trojans for the past two seasons, where he won the 2022 Hiesman trophy and solidified his place as one of the best quarterback prospects to come out of college in quite some time. But sunny California is much different than the Windy City

 

, where Williams could be playing to start his NFL career.

Chicago certainly did what was needed to make a pathway to land a top quarterback with their No. 1 pick, trading Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers this past weekend. Williams, if selected, would come right in and be baptized by fire in the NFL like so many other highly rated rookie quarterbacks have done before him.
