There have been several question marks weighing over USC quarterback Caleb Williams’ head this offseason, outside of figuring out whether or not he’s a generational talent.
Would he rather remain at USC for another year? How reliable of a teammate is he? And, most importantly for Bears fans, would he be willing to play in Chicago?
Rumors have swirled about his interest and whether or not he would have the gall to pull off an Eli Manning situation on draft day and request to play for a different team. NFL analyst Colin Cowherd amplified those thoughts with comments he made on Thursday, saying Williams wouldn’t be interested in becoming a Bear.
“I do think it’s possible that Washington trades up and Chicago allows Washington to trade up,” Cowherd said on his show “The Herd.” “Because Caleb and his group do not want to go to Chicago.”
Surprise, surprise, Cowherd got a call from Williams’ camp and on Friday, he walked back his comments about Williams’ disinterest in the Bears.
“There are concerns [about the Bears] and I pointed them out yesterday on the show from Caleb Williams and his camp,” Cowherd said. “This is not the perfect destination. Washington at No. 2, in my opinion, he’s from there, is a much better landing spot.
