Bears veteran says Caleb Williams better humble himself quick if he comes to Chicago
Jaylon Johnson was slapped with the franchise tag by the Chicago Bears this year because he is one of the best players on their roster. The star cornerback is not afraid to speak the truth, and he did just that on an appearance of FanDuel TV’s “Up and Adams”.
Johnson was asked about Caleb Williams coming to Chicago potentially, and Johnson went in quickly saying he better humble himself quickly, because the Bears do not need someone needing Hollywood treatment.
“You just humble your stuff coming into the building,” Johnson said about Williams during an appearance on the FanDuel TV “Up & Adams” program. You can’t bring that Hollywood stuff into the building, especially with guys who played this game at a high level for consecutive years in the league. What you did in college, the Hollywood, it’s like ‘Nah, you gotta prove yourself. That stuff like that doesn’t matter.'”
Williams decided to not complete any medical evaluations in Indianapolis, but he is still expected to go first overall to the Bears.
“You kinda hear all of the comparisons, the ‘generational talent’ and all that being thrown around,” Johnson added about Williams. “So I think, for me, just excited on that note of it…Just being patient with his progress, being patient with how he comes in and the mistakes he’s gonna make and the plays that he’s gonna make. He’s a very talented guy. He definitely do some things with his feet. He has plenty of arm talent. I feel like there’s not a throw that he can’t make.”
Will the Bears select Williams?
