Caleb Williams The NFL's No. 1 Overall Projected Draft Pick talks his football mindset, winning Championships, dealing with critics, hating disrespect, what he looks forward to in Chicago & being a leader for the Bears
This year’s 2024 NFL Draft class has received more noise than recent years’ pools of players, and it has mainly stemmed from one position- quarterback. Many teams are hoping to change the trajectory of their franchise in the first round, and the Chicago Bears are sitting in that top spot with one player a phone call away.
Ryan, Channing and Fred sat down with the NFL’s projected No. 1 overall pick, Caleb Williams to find out what it will be like for him to hear his name called first at next week’s Draft in Detroit. The 2022 Heisman Trophy winner talks to The Pivot a few days before the life changing night, about what it will take for him to lead a team and how he has proven what it takes to win Lombardi Trophies.
A knock many people had against Caleb was that he lacked adversity growing up. Caleb shuts down these assumptions and explains how each of his biggest pivots came from losses and failures. Whether it was falling short in crucial games growing up or starting on the bench at Oklahoma, Caleb has dedicated his life to never accepting losses again.
Williams is built for the future of the game, and as Channing says he’s “built in a lab,” Caleb has approached football from a business mindset as well. His parents taught Caleb to sit back and watch then learn and adapt, and on and off the football field Williams has found ways to only get better.
The Bears trading away Justin Fields showed Caleb everything he needed to see, and the same way he changed the culture at Gonzaga High School and at USC he is hoping to revive Chicago football. He discusses with the guys how much he dreams of championships and the journey he’s taken to making that a reality.
Playing alongside Olu Fashanu in high school and against Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix in college has exposed Caleb to some of this year’s best talent. Yet he explains to Ryan how his leadership and focus is seemingly unmatched amongst the other players.
Before games Caleb tells himself he’s already won, and he is already picturing his name being called out on April 25th. Caleb hopes to cultivate a new culture in Chicago, and he has the confidence to make it happen.

Yo! I love the PIVOT and now I really know a lot about this young man Caleb Williams and I’m rooting for him man. I’m a fan. Praise God for his parents and encouragement even to myself as a good parent. All I can say right on and thank you. PIVOT! 👍🏾

[@wileyjohnson3880]

Great interview! This kid gets it. He's going to be an absolute stud. 🐻⬇️

[@melvinjacobs7316]

His intellect reminds me of Kobe Bryant’s. As a Chicagoan and a Justin Fields fan, who was pissed when they traded JF1; I can say, after seeing this interview, I’m interested to see if this young man can live up to the hype. Best wishes to him.

[@tomtsu5923]

Hes sharper than kobe

[@idawashington2570]

IKYFL 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@ayereek2039]

To be 22 and have this mindset is crazy. Any other 22 year old in his position would not be as mature as he is, definitely a great job by his parents and the people around him, and a great job to you Caleb for understanding who you are and what you’re about to be. 🐻⬇️

[@ASPHALTGARDE]

I was raving about Caleb since his first snap at ou . You just know when a player has it man 💯💯

[@djvibes944]

High level communication from Caleb. Really love this guys demeanor.

[@MrNewstyle23]

Okay, I’m onboard. Love his demeanor and passion for the game and his greatness! Caleb is real! Super excited for the Bears!

[@timmy-bo2891]

He demands excellence and honesty it’s refreshing

[@thegainsreport8520]

Wow as a bears fan finally getting to hear from the man him self. I’ve never been more excited for the draft. Leaders & winners have a high expectation because they put the work in. Caleb’s mindset 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@chriscalby7412]

THIS is the interview I was looking for. There might be others out there but I found this one. Mad props to these guys for putting together an informative, deep diving piece. The questions were real and they let Caleb run with them and give us a peak at who he really is. Having watched it now, I am optimistic about him likely landing in Chicago whereas before I wasn’t so sure. I’ve seen plenty of talented guys fall on their asses after coming to the pros. Caleb strikes me as being grounded, focused and engaging with others. Critical assets for being the leader of a professional football team.

[@zachstolpa6521]

This guy is bonfied humble, just absolutely.

Welcome to Chi-Town Young Fella! 🐻👇🏾🧡💙

[@dabearsfan3533]

Man, the more i learn about this Kat, the more i like him, you can see he is humble and real, his answers to questions arnt the normal QB talk, he doesnt seem like "Mr. Hollywood" at all.. im not sure how to feel , this is new for a Bears fan, to think we will be getting a true superstar QB..If he is what evwryone thinks he is , he will be A TRUE FUCKING LEGEND IN CHICAGO, UP THERE WITH JORDAN, DITKA, AND PAYTON.

[@patricke.2181]

Man the Bears have lucked out to land this guy. Really self-aware, mature, intelligent, likeable.

[@OrlandoSoto1111]

I was pissed about the Fields trade and then caught on to his highlights. Watched some film on this dude and now this interview. Bears are about to finally be GREAT something us Bears fans have never had since ‘85. I believe the Bears will be the new Chiefs of the NFC…

[@DVe-fw5sj]

This guy wants to win...period

[@austinfrank7752]

Phenomenal interview. Dude is wise way beyond his years and you can tell he comes from a great home. Anyone who has questions about him needs to watch this.

[@ZeeBears64]

I believe this young man will be a great leader very mature for his years. And love his confidence as a Chicago fan I think we're in good hands. Chicago up BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈 Exciting times Rome .D

[@OdinsRaven8]

Bears fan here. Super Bowl aside if this kid is just able to sweep GB next year he will already be loved in the city. If he wins championships he will be an icon. The bar is so low. He can probably throw for 4K and 30 TDs his sophomore year. The city is begging for someone to come in and take over. He appears to fit the mold. Let’s get it

[@kingbobo_]

I'm sold. Caleb Williams is a franchise guy. 🐻⬇️

[@NotoriousB.I.G.]

What sold you? The crying in his mom's lap or the finger nail painting?

[@gerrenthomas2266]

How in the world can you NOT like this kid as a Chicago Bears fan???!! He's confident yet humble simultaneously. I see no "HOLLYWOOD ENTITLEMENT" whatsoever.

[@Hutch402]

Can you please get Ryan Poles on here!

[@Calebwilliamsishim]

They have to get him on here before the draft

Im a packers fan but also a usc fan and all i can say is the bears might finally have one on their hands

[@stevenmiller3767]

Caleb, for me, resonates as a young man of deep faith. A young man with an "Old Soul".

[@dariusmorgan8302]

Right on man. Great work on the interview and channel fellas. Excellent team of people with deep knowledge. Lifelong Bears fan for decades. Was 11yrs old getting to witness the most destructive/dominant defense ever fielded in '85 and was lucky enough to have watched and idolized "Sweetness" his whole career. Obviously extremely excited for Caleb to be a Bear just based on his unreal level of skill but, now I'm even more excited cuz this dude is grounded, has character and understanding of a thousand things that are gonna be valuable to all of us Bears fans as he takes the reins. Thanks for this interview

[@FejjNagaf]

This is a good kid and he's going to be great. The Justin Fields contingent of "Bears fans" are actively rooting for him to fail so they can feel better about a guy who didn't live up to his potential. I've got news for them and the rest of the doubters and haters - it's time to believe in the Bears again. Get it Caleb!

[@MoneyClipsSports]

Caleb definitely going #1 great podcast and insight by the Pivot

[@user-iv1sz4cf5t]

Wow, very mature for his age. His parents did well. He is a leader and his parents prepared him well to lead. I can tell he is not selfish thanks to his mom. I wish him well. To live alone in high school and know when to leave a scene before it gets crazy is remarkable. He said he and his friends gathered each other up and left before the craziness starts. I like this guy.

[@waynemyrie57]

This man had his own apartment in high school.. clearly wise beyond his years

[@roggiewonkanobe]

It amazes me how much people try to find something to hate this young man for. I wish him all the success.

[@calm1047]

It's not just him. Weeks before the draft, black quarterbacks go through a lot of misinformation about them! Last year, Zack Wilson was the second pick?

[@roggiewonkanobe]

@@calm1047 I feel ya on that. That stuff doesn't go unnoticed

[@lloydsLegends]

I believe in Caleb. Im painting my nails on draft day in support.

[@janewhite2134]

So nice listening to a podcast with no profanity. What a wonderful young man. Great job, guys.

[@szn1580]

He’s going to be a winner I can tell

[@colincrane3125]

Love this guy! Smart, considerate and seems balanced

[@cbears312]

Can’t wait to see what Caleb brings to Chicago! 🐻⬇️

[@mrk3270]

Anyone who has a bad opinion of this dude, should watch this whole podcast. I’m sold.

BEAR DOWN!!!

[@Singlebearel]

Im GEEKED after watching this! Great interview. Great questions. This truly feels meant to be for Caleb and the city of Chicago! GO BEARS

[@tyaoliver767]

Lifelong Cowboys fan, but I love this guy. The confidence, poise, and most importantly the ability. You just can’t teach that.

[@akireon5440]

Great video! Nice to see the real side of Caleb and not how the media has portrayed him. I cannot wait for this dude to be a Bear!!!!!!!!

[@RayBuckner]

Great interview! I was already on board with our new QB1, but getting to know more about Caleb the person. This young man is all about business and winning. Welcome to Chicago!
