The Caleb Williams era has officially begun, bringing high expectations from both the media and fans. The Bears are anticipated to be a dangerous team in 2024, thanks to their off-season additions. However, Chiefs superstar tight end Travis Kelce might have the boldest opinion on Caleb Williams yet. On his podcast “New Heights,” which he co-hosts with his brother and Eagles legend Jason Kelce, the All-Pro tight end offered high praise for the new Chicago quarterback.
“He has that game changer mentality where at any moment he can kill you with his arm and he can do the same thing with his legs… I think Caleb [Williams] kills it.”
Kelce didn’t stop there with the praise; he went on to compare Williams to his current quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.
“Watching him play over the last couple of years both at Oklahoma and USC I thought he was an absolute stud. Similar to how Patty Mahomes plays the game.”
Caleb Williams has often been compared to Patrick Mahomes, highlighting his skill set as a quarterback prospect. Both the media and current NFL players recognize Williams as a rare talent. With the Bears current roster and fairly easy schedule, it will be fascinating to see how quickly Williams can ascend to being one of the top quarterbacks in the league. Although he has much to prove, the respect and high expectations for the Washington native are already very prevalent throughout the NFL landscape.
