USC quarterback Caleb Williams discusses Chicago Bears interest, Pro Day performance

Williams spoke with reporters after participating in USC's Pro Day on March 20

amen!

[@ag4allgood]

Its a team game & Poles has worked on the Offense this year - should be better protection & weapons. Still trying to figure out how it would be such a BAD thing to have Justin Fields on this team with CW sitting & learning for a year like Patrick Mahomes did !

[@realMDizzy]

@@ag4allgood I think because the mental state it would put Justin in where if he throws a pick or fumbles which he does at an alarming rate he'd always be looking over his shoulder and not be at his best. I personally would've kept Justin and benched him until Cousins or Russ go down from old age and increased value of the trade.

You need to be real NEGATIVE because being pleasantly surprised is the only solution~

[@officialSTR1FE]

Facts, I was the same, now I'm on board, cause no matter what he's coming. It's reported everywhere that Poles and the organization absolutely love him, it's said the dinner and everything leading up, is why. They've got a meeting in Chi, in a few weeks, so he can come here pick his locker, number, and home. Imagine the heat if he takes 1 as his number. I'm that type of guy, I'm for it.

Immediately took responsibility for his mistakes up front. This is a player you want on your team.

[@user-en9qd5nx8w]

Totally agree with you except calling him a kid. For a young guy he really comes off as a mature, deep thinker, committed to the game. He will need to learn how to handle potentially losing, and all the pressure that comes with that.

[@spiritualarchitect4276]

Where did you come up with 31 fumbles? That stat keeps getting re-posted over and over. Yet I have found NOTHING showing the number to be accurate. This is what I keep finding on sites such as Fox Sports and USA Today: Caleb Williams had 17 fumbles in 3 years of college ball - 5 of those were turnovers - lost to the other team. In comparison: Justin Fields had 12 fumbles in college - 5 of those were turnovers. Drake Maye had 12 fumbles in college - 7 of those were turnovers. Jayden Daniels had 11 fumbles in college - 6 of those were turnovers. JJ McCarthy had 12 fumbles in college - 1 of those were turnovers. Michael Penix had 4 fumbles in college - 1 of those were turnovers. On one of those, Caleb dropped the snap from center, picked it up and shot-putted it 40 yards for a 60 yard touchdown.

[@filmjunkie-97]

17 fumbles. He needs to clean up his ball carrying. but he fumbled 17 and lost 5

He looked bad missed 3 long balls and mid passes were behind his receivers ugh and holds the ball longer than any other qb I’ve seen. If this is generational qb then the whole generation has sucked. I see ego and bust time to pivot to Daniel’s better foot work hits the long ball and mid passes bigger and smarter and way more of a team player!!!

How many long balls did he hit? You do know 50% completion on long balls could be considered elite! Glad you'er not the Bears GM!

[@Incuensuocha]

@@DuaneL82 there’s no speculation of him pulling an Eli. Just cause RG3 said it doesn’t mean CW is considering it. He also said he would be excited if he were drafted by the Bears. Besides, the current Bears are probably the most talented team to ever have the #1 overall pick. Why would he skip that to go to a far inferior Washington or New England? And the Vikings have zero chance of getting him. Not only do they not have enough to move up to first, the Bears would never intentionally send CW to a division rival.
