Second-year Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams recently broke his silence on a claim that he didn’t want to join the team before the 2024 draft when he went No. 1.
Seth Wickersham wrote that Williams’s father, Carl, didn’t want his son to get drafted by the Bears at No. 1—a detail that came out in Wickersham’s new book, “American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback.” Caleb Williams, a former Heisman Trophy winner at USC and highly touted prospect, put that claim to rest on Wednesday.
