Before the NFL Draft, Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson questioned whether or not the “Hollywood stuff” from Caleb Williams would work for him in the NFL. But it seems like Williams fits in quite well with the team.
During a recent interview with Jim Rome, Jaylon Johnson did not hold back as he offered some high praise for Caleb Williams and how he fits in with the team and with the city of Chicago.
“He fits in perfectly,” Johnson said according to Pro Football Talk. “He comes into work. I feel like coming to the Bears and the city of Chicago, things that we’re kind of fighting against — it’s really just a hard-nosed city. I mean, the fans are hard-nosed, our team is hard-nosed and has kind of been built on that. And I think he’s coming in and fitting in perfectly.
“We were able to push him as a defense and then be able to see how he bounced back and responded and did certain things back. So, I think he’s fitting in perfect. I can’t wait for this camp to really see him take these next steps and lead us to some wins.”
Obviously, the most important thing for the Bears is whether or not Williams can lead them to wins, but it sounds like he is already being embraced by his teammates.
