Lincoln Riley dismisses the notion that Caleb Williams has no interest in playing for the Bears.
Recently, there was a report from Colin Cowherd suggesting that Caleb Williams might not be interested in being selected by and playing for the Chicago Bears, although this claim was later retracted. Caleb Williams' college coach, Lincoln Riley, shared his insights regarding what Williams seeks in his NFL team.
Lincoln Riley, during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, emphasized that for Williams, the primary focus is finding the right situation to continue his development and contribute to a successful franchise. Riley mentioned that Williams is single-minded in his pursuit of winning and is highly competitive. While Williams would naturally prefer to be the first overall pick, his ultimate goal revolves around achieving success on the field.
Since the conclusion of the regular season, a major question for teams at the top of the draft has been the Chicago Bears' plans with the No. 1 pick. The prevailing expectation is that the Bears may select Caleb Williams and potentially move on from Justin Fields.
However, if the Bears opt to retain Justin Fields, they could follow a similar strategy to the previous year by trading down to acquire a cache of picks and possibly a player. In any case, it appears that Williams is not averse to the idea of being chosen by the Bears as the first pick, despite recent speculation suggesting otherwise.
