Caleb Williams addressed the recent controversy stemming from details in the upcoming book American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback by ESPN’s Seth Wickersham.
The book reveals that Williams and his father initially explored ways to avoid being drafted by the Bears.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Williams emphasized his focus on the present and his determination to help turn the Bears’ fortunes around. “This whole storm wasn’t something we wanted at this point,” he said. “We’re focused on now… trying to get this ship moving in the right direction.”
Williams acknowledged visits with other teams, including Minnesota, but stressed that his decision to join Chicago was “a deliberate and determined answer” after meeting with the Bears organization. “Those were all thoughts and ideas,” he explained, “but after my visit here, I knew this was where I wanted to be.”
Despite the distractions, Williams remains committed to building success in Chicago.
