Eli Manning and John Elway almost had a company.
A new book details how Caleb Williams apparently tried to avoid being recruited by the Chicago Bears last year.
Williams and his family consulted with the lawyers to find an escape in the NFL collective bargaining agreement, all while her father told the author of the book, Seth Wickersham, that “Chicago is the place that the quartbacks are going to die.”

Williams himself wondered if he could “do it” with Shane Waldron, who since then has been fired from his offensive coordinating role. His father, Carl, was also worried about Matt Eberflus (also since Let Go as a chief coach), and the uncertainty within the franchise, along with the previous first round that the organization had selected, would retain his son.
“I don’t want my son to play for the bears,” said Carl Williams. Caleb actually told his father that he “needed” to go to the Vikings of Minnesota after meeting them, knowing how unlikely that would be.
In fact, the field marshal even considered signing at the United Football League outside the USC, instead of being the first automatic selection in the NFL.
The details stand out in Wickersham’s book, “American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback”, which will be launched in September.
The Bears declined to comment to Pak Gazette Digital.
Pak Gazette Digital contacted the Williams representative.

Williams finally stayed in the NFL draft, and was convinced after sitting with Bears Brass that he could succeed there. The general manager Ryan Poles was not moving, and Williams did not want to get a 2004 manning, or Elway in 1983.
He was selected by Chicago to be his next field marshal of the franchise, and fortunately for the Williamses, a couple of his concerns, those mentioned Eberflus and Waldron, are no longer in the organization. The former offensive coordinator of the Detroit Lions, Ben Johnson, joined the Bears to be his new chief coach this low season. It was a movement for which Williams was “extremely excited”, to the point where he even thanked Bears Brass in a phone call.
“Then, once I left the phone, I was driving along the road and I don’t know if it was safe or not, but I gave him a strong scream and a cry of emotion,” said Williams. “It brings a lot of clarity to the low season. It brings a lot of different things to the low season. I am really excited about the Bears and be able to make this happen. And keep Ben Johnson as our coach for a long time.”
He had a rookie season, partly due to the training carousel inside the building. It was also fired 68 times, the largest amount of the NFL. But in total, it ended with 20 touchdowns, six interceptions, 3,541 air yards and 489 yards per land. Its 4,030 total yards were the main ones for a field marshal of the Bears.

Williams received additional help in the NFL draft, since Chicago wrote the closed wing of Michigan Colston Loveland with the tenth general selection.
