LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams on Wednesday defended his commitment to the organization that drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in 2024.
Following Chicago's second OTA practice that was open to the media, Williams delivered a three-minute, 55-second opening statement that addressed his feelings about the Bears organization related to the pre-draft process.
Excerpts from author Seth Wickersham's upcoming book, "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback," revealed that Williams and his father, Carl, had considered ways to avoid the former Heisman Trophy winner from being drafted by the Bears.
