Caleb Williams may be one of the most hyped quarterback prospects to enter the NFL in a long time, but even he understands that his transition to the NFL is not going to be perfect.
During a recent interview, Caleb Williams opened up about how he handles the “rough days” during practice when he inevitably struggles as part of his transition from the college game to the NFL.
“I’ve had rough days,” Williams said according to ESPN. “I expect myself to go out there. I think I’m the toughest on myself. I go out there and I’ll mess up a play. I’ve thrown a pick in minicamp and things like that. Being tough on myself but also having an understatement of where we are and where I am. The progression like I said before is key. Those bad times it’s not a time to have self doubt. That’s just a waste of time. It’s a time to keep growing, keep progressing and keep believing in yourself.”
Williams was already named the starting quarterback of the Chicago Bears before he even took a single snap during practice. So he won’t have to earn the trust of the coaching staff this offseason, but it will be important for him to adapt. And it sounds like he’s committed to doing that.
