When Caleb Williams got drafted, he likely thought he would be in for an all-time rookie campaign.
It hasn’t been anything close for the former Oklahoma and USC star quarterback. He’s shown flashes, but there have been more struggles than good times.
Being a rookie quarterback in the NFL is tough, and Chicago Bears rookie signal-caller Caleb Williams is finding that out in each passing game.
What could help rookies along the way is the support of teammates.
A report from earlier this week claimed that “a few” veteran Chicago Bears players wanted him benched in favor of backup Tyson Bagent following the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.
Williams spoke with reporters on Wednesday and made it clear that he feels he has the support of those inside the locker room.
“I think those guys are good, easy. We talk about it,” Williams explained, as shared by Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “I think I got full support from them. I’ve gotten texts or calls or people coming up to me, with this situation that just happened, and saying, ‘We got your back, we’re with you.’ You know, things like that and, ‘Let’s go.’ That kind of mindset and attitude has been what it’s been this past couple days. And that’s kind of what it’s only been.”
