Joe Burrow is a believer. He has a ton of confidence that Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will make it big in the NFL. Like Burrow, Caleb Williams was a Heisman Trophy winner and the consensus top selection in the NFL draft. Like Burrow, Williams has been tasked with saving a tortured franchise. Burrow rescued the Cincinnati Bengals after decades of failure. Caleb will try to do the same with the Bears.
Whether Williams will be able to meet those expectations as Burrow did remains to be seen. So, what advice does Burrow have for Williams?
“I think that’s what separates people is when you can maintain a levelheaded, even-keel aura, personality, whatever you want to call it,” Burrow said Thursday. “There’s going to be ups and downs. But can you come back the next day and go about your process the same way you did the week before whether you won or whether you’ve lost. Whether you threw four picks or you had five touchdowns. You just have to have the mindset at the end of the day that you’re going to be better.” “He played in L.A., so he’s used to that big market. That goes a long way. So if you can stay grounded like he can then he’s going to have a good career. . . I’m excited to watch him.
The Cincinnati Bengals played the Chicago Bears on Saturday, with Caleb Williams making multiple highlight-reel plays.
