Caleb Williams is wildly respected by his peers
· Yahoo Sports
The Chicago Bears used to have quarterbacks who made people talk for all of the wrong reasons. Since the era of former USC quarterback Caleb Williams has begun, however, people have changed their tune on quarterback play in Chicago.
In a recent article, Mike Pendleton displays Caleb Williams' perception from the perspective of one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Here is what Matthew Stafford had to say about Caleb Williams:

"He launches the freaking NFL Blitz jump throw for a touchdown, I was like 'What the hell is this?'" Stafford told Long. "Every snow game is a little bit different, they're all different, they're a lot of fun to play in, except when you're playing Caleb Williams and he sprints back to the 50 and launches the freaking NFL Blitz jump throw for a touchdown. I think he's just like with the ball in his hand, it's as scary as anybody for sure. You don't know what's going to happen. He was running back to the 50 and I was in my head thinking 'Oh, sweet. All right here we go, what are we doing here?' Then he launches it and I was like 'Oh that looks good' and then they caught. But then you have to move on quickly."
You know you are a special talent and one of the best in the league when your competitors are the ones giving you credit. Caleb Williams has created that for himself with how good he was this past season. If his play takes another jump, that confidence will soon turn to hate, as it has happened for Patrick Mahomes. Still, a very encouraging sign that the Bears now have a quarterback who is well respected by the best.
