Everyone’s got their origin story.
This is Caleb Williams’.
He’s 10 years old and a bruising defensive player, someone who likes hitting so much that when his parents put him in flag football at age 4 he started tackling other kids. He’s at a football camp in San Antonio, Texas — and his team is getting demolished by a squad quarterbacked by Harrison Bailey, who’s now at Louisville.
The game ended, and Williams is crushed. He hates losing. He’s also well aware that the quarterback on his own team happens to be the son of the person calling the plays.
