Caleb Williams: "I Play Football To Be Immortal." | The QB Room

USC quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, Caleb Williams, is the first Roomie of season 2. We discuss whether or not he'll become a two-time Heisman winner, his relationship with Coach Riley, and what motivates him. Spoiler alert: he wants to win the Heisman again AND win the national championship because "nobody has ever been a two-time Heisman winner with a national championship."
But that's not all. The coolest thing he said: "I play football to be IMMORTAL."

How do people think Caleb is cocky?? All I see is self confidence, which is a necessary trait to be one of the best. Chicago better take this man!🐻

As a Bears fan the thing that impressed me the most was Calebs principles on working hard over money. To push yourself to greatness you have to find real short term happiness over and over again as you improve and only from that. Happiness can't just come from money, if you're truly great and not meeting your standard you would not give a damn about money or enjoy it, that's the special breed this man is. Im confident he will come to the Bears, they are doing much greater things at a greater level than the competition for him. The coaches they have put together will produce a top 5 defense, wnd and they will make sure there is a strong rush attack to give him the opportunity to translate his college skills to prime time.

All the noise that i hear about this guy having character issues is kinda crazy to me. I've tried to look up interviews that he's done and it's few and far in between. Then all those kids at the combine was asked about Caleb and not 1 had anything bad to say. That narrative is kinda wild to bring down this kid. He seems cool

[@StewMain6]

I’d admit I had my doubts about Caleb’s personality, but during the combine, he spoke with media. I thought he was just extremely confident in himself and that he is set on being the best. He seemed mature and he was there supporting his friends and teammates that were at the combine. His actions relieved any doubts I had about his character. I don’t care if he is cocky if he can back it up. You know who else is cocky? Brady, Mahomes, Rodgers. Those are 3 qbs I’d love to of had on my team

[@ricardorivera7549]

yeah he is a bit cocky but u need someone like that at QB, that cockiness to believe you are never out of the game and the balls to attempt the craziest plays. also, he doesnt seem to be cocky/confident in a way that overcompensates. he just looks natural. "smooth" if u will.

[@onzaol]

When he retires, he’ll be known as the best Bears QB in franchise history

@@trout2212you Bears fan love mediocre QBs. JF had 16tds of which 8 came in 2 games. The rest of the year he was throwing either 1 or none. Literally is the worst statistically 4th qtr qb in the league for starters. It’s been 3 years and he elevates NOBODY but himself as a runner. It’s fun watching him but he isn’t the reason why they win and definitely doesn’t come from Behind killer instinct - he is way to slow to process and his release is long and slow but the ball is fast

[@Pullo83]

He raised his hand when one of the hosts was like “who runs college football?” He calls himself Superman. He’s talented, but he’s not humble. Honestly I hope the losses this season humbled him. Might have been exactly what he needed before stepping into the punishing and unforgiving environment of the nfl.

there's so much bs out there about this kid. completely opposite to what this interview showed. he's going to succeed in chicago if they draft him. it's the best situation for a rookie qb. they have a ton of cap space where they can get some interior line help and the #9 pick to potentially grab another weapon to pair with dj moore and cole kmet.

[@Foremangrill]

Did this dude say he was training at 5:30 when he was 10? Wow

Caleb has an awesome personality all around. This is cool to hear him talk like this. For me as a Bears fan and Michigan fan that was so cool to hear him say he would work out with Blake Korum all the time. I've already been wanting the bears to draft Korum also and after hearing this please Poles go get Korum also. Seriously Caleb we are so pumped to have you in Chicago!

[@paulhester489]

Other than the Heisman Trophy Williams didn't win any Championships or participate in college National Championship games. The hyping of Caleb Williams has been criminal. Hopefully, he will get with the right system like CJ Stroud and be successful in NFL. Because no one knows how Williams will perform in a structured NFL offense. Perhaps Lincoln Riley will get a NFL HC job.

[@dylankrejci9965]

Yeah he didn’t win any championships because the rest of that USC roster was garbage. Almost every QB prospect does not play in the national championship.

Jordan Palmer ... I always thought he had potential to be as good as his brother. I was happy when he came to Tennessee in like 2014 or 2015 but he never got a chance to showcase his talents. There's only 32 teams and so many quarterback positions available, it comes down to being lucky enough to get a chance to get on the field. I mean he was better than 80% of backups who got snaps in games.
