The NFL was stunned when Chicago Bears’ GM Ryan Poles traded quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a sixth-round pick. This trade, which took place just over a month ago, remains a hot topic. In a recent episode of The Pivot Podcast, guest Caleb Williams discussed the trade when asked by host Ryan Clark. Williams provided intriguing details, revealing how committed Poles was to selecting him.
“Welp, we know where their mind and heart is at in this instance.. in that moment it was kind of like wow. I didn’t do my top-30 visit yet, they didn’t have my medicals.. they have it all now though.”
The Bears not having Caleb Williams’ medical records or completing his top-30 visit indicates their view of him as a prospect. Many, from normal fans to NFL draft analysts, consider Williams one of the best quarterback prospects in years. While Caleb’s points may have surprised some people, it appears the Bears were locked in on selecting the USC superstar from the beginning.
