The Chicago Bears are obviously the topic of conversation with everybody Adam shefer will be joining us in 16 minutes was on pardon my take barsto big cat on at Baro big cat Dan cats massive Chicago Bears fans ba bear fan puts the pressure on shefer and basically says

What’s going to happen and he says like pretty much the Bears are taking Caleb Williams yeah let me tell you what I have heard about Caleb Williams okay him not throwing no big deal Andrew Luck didn’t throw Joe burrow didn’t throw Kyler Murray didn’t throw I think G3

Actually didn’t throw and if you go way back Payton Manning didn’t throw now Patrick Mahomes threw Tom Brady threw CJ Stroud through a lot of Lamar Jackson threw a lot of people that have had success have also thrown like I think Drake May should have thrown personally

Because he’s like three is he is he two who knows is he four is he five because JJ McCarthy’s moving we’re big fans of Drake May from what Darius Butler said about hanging out with him like he’s a competitive dude I was hoping that Drake

May would say I’m not going to throw get on the field kind of see what everybody’s doing you know what I am I am going to spin it a little bit I was hoping that would take place he didn’t he’ll have his workout nobody’s holding

It against him you just kind of keep it moving but with Caleb Williams what I’ve learned is hey this dude loves ball whoa that’s what everybody has said that they come out from talking to him now his teammates are saying the same thing people are saying the same thing it’s

Like obviously there’s going to be a lot of talk about a guy who’s being heralded is one of the greatest prospects in the history of the NFL especially whenever he’s playing in Los Angeles he transfers the USC he’s already won a Heisman he is who he is he’s very independent there’s

Going to be people that talk about him because this is the NFL’s next one potentially but everybody said like his competitive Drive how much he loves ball is going to be the thing that nobody’s really talking about publicly that is the reason why he is the camp Miss

Prospected number one now he’s 6′ one he said 6’2 215 205 chose not to do any of the medical which could potentially slow up the Justin Fields trade potentially out of Chicago because are they certain that that Caleb Williams is okay is there a reason he didn’t do the medical

Is there something wrong that people don’t find who knows but the thing that I got from damn near everybody around there was like Caleb Williams loves ball and that is all anybody seemingly cares about Ty your thoughts on that yeah it’s just interesting too CU you look at all

The stuff that people were saying and and it’s one thing you know that you hear about us too we were wondering yeah exactly and you and you hear about like his personality and like oh is this guy kind of standoffish is he very LA and like all about the glitz and the Glamour

And kind of not not everything else but just based on what you saw on Twitter and what he did do at the combine like standup guy you know didn’t give off the impression again you know it’s a job interview so it’s not you’d have to be

Kind of crazy to go in there and just be a prick to everyone but some of these guys in the position like absolutely could do that but he was you know it gave off the or exuded the vibe like hey this guy could be the the the one to run

A franchise like he’s he’s a he’s a good dude when leading up to it like that’s kind of all it’s been so far he just mentioned character assassination like you know again is that something where your other teams are trying to get him to maybe drop down so they can get him

At two or three or wherever we’ll find out but in terms of not throwing it seems like he won the combine as much as he could for what he did decide to do while he was there now we saw Peter shreer tweet there about him sticking around and shaking everybody’s hands

That ran the event that’s like Colts equipment managers every time you see a guy get hit in the face that’s Powers he’s been equipment manager uh uh for the Colts for a long time since my time back there frog tea every but’s kind of running the drills he last player he

Shook everybody’s hand okay so you say that’s choreograph all right maybe Laura rutage then puts out a tweet says Hey whenever he stopped by NFL live literally shook everybody’s hand on the set well that’s just H maybe I don’t know Robert matys from grid iron gang he posted a picture and he said

Caleb Williams when he was in town came and met with some high school kids that are currently in the grid iron gang uh Academy pretty much which I am very lucky to be a part of I give $100,000 in sponsorships and scholarships to guys to go work out with Robert Mattis and Dan

Mure who are giving prole camps to people that would have never had the opportunity to have those types of camps kale Williams stopped by so it’s like coming to Indianapolis aside from not doing a medical not doing a workout and even if it is all at least he’s

Putting in the effort to do all the right things and if he’s going to do that as a quarterback in the NFL it’s like even if it’s all if he’s putting in the effort to do all the right things I’m cool with it because you can see those and you can say well

That was all choreographed premeditated that’s not real it’s like well at least he’s doing all the not real yeah like this is good news to me in my eyes and I think Caleb Williams from my preconceived thoughts about like shut up dude yeah you know a lot of that

Whenever his when his team and his family we saying he will get to these tees he won’t do this it’s like bro there’s been a lot of Heisman winners who have come into the NFL there’s been 100 plus years of NFL football ratings are higher than ever there’s no offense

There has been a Caleb Williams or three or 10 that have come through the NFL before that was my initial thoughts when you hear the family speak but from everything that Caleb Williams has done and who knows if the family’s even said the things in the context in which they

Have been relayed it’s like I’m a big fan of the guy and I can’t wait to see what happens with him he DC guy commanders are at number two they’re thinking there’s a chance that the commanders are going to try to like sell everything to go get him at one but from

My learning from my experience big weekend for Caleb Williams the human as opposed to Caleb Williams the diva which is potentially some people’s thoughts beforehand like what Tai said like the character assassination like I think the reaction to all those things shows how much damage was already done to him like

From his last game till now and like it you’re telling me he went to Robert matthys and he was like get your phone out take a photo so everyone can see me with these high school kids like I don’t think that’s what he’s doing but even just him messing around like I

Think Brendan rice he was on the podium and he was given you know his interviews as all the players do and Caleb Williams went into the crowd and like asked him a question just screwing around like even that kind of yeah like just joke yeah who who his father was like even just

Joking around like stuff like that I feel like is huge and like for him too it feels like a done deal like this is over all the all the BS that came with Caleb and everything like that like excuse me one for one one for one uh I I

Wasn’t trying to spin it that was just me moving it I wasn’t trying to spin it you cannot count that as me dropping the pen on a spin I was just moving it but with that being said Conor always play drums on a microphone no I don’t no I don’t double BAS

I don’t like to do it now this is new you yeah exactly this is this is 2023 season Conor okay and granted the season really doesn’t end till the draft but we’re on to 2024 okay it is a whole different I’m not going to drop the pen

Forget about it okay but it does feel like Caleb’s done right like this he is the first overall pick there will be stuff I mean it’s March 4th from now till April 29th there will be things that you know have him fluctuate we need to remember that so that if he ever

Becomes plus odds gambling wise we can Hammer him because cuz that happened last year with strad and Bryce young if you remember where strad was the heavy favorite and Bryce young was plus money granted who knows how that yeah like one of these Pro days if Jaden goes out yes

And it is massive Bingo and then Caleb something you know comes out oh something comes out and people start leaning like oh maybe Jaden who wasn’t supposed to be top pick is now the top guy and the sports books bite on it let’s remember Hammer Caleb let’s

Remember that it’s Caleb yeah cuz he’s the guy unless something medical wise does come out which could be legit which well to that point you had mentioned about him not doing it to combine and that could slow some things up but I saw this morning that the Bears already put

Him on the top 30 uh visit list and they’re going to get that out of the way as quick as possible so it seems like he’s going to be there and Tai was talking about like the whole La thing like he transferred there probably be that’s because where that’s where his

Head coach yeah if Lincoln Riley would to Omaha yeah he chose to go to Oklahoma like that’s where he chose to win and then I saw a tweet on the internet which was doing very well about how there’s 700 million barbers in LA and you could

And Caleb has not gotten cleaned up you could tell since the season is ending he that man’s been at work that man’s been working on football I mean he the way they talked about like hey you should hear the way his teammates describe him like you know because they’re doing

They’re doing interviews with the teammates they’re doing interviews with like equipment managers you should hear like how athletic trainers talk about this guy like the way they’re talking about like him is like he’s legit don’t worry about all the he’s a superstar like that is he’s going to be the number

One pick in the NFL there’s going to be some sort of that’s going to come with it but everything about him I just hope that he has the ability to play the same way he played in college in the NFL now if he doesn’t he’ll just adjust because he’s competitive loves ball

He’ll be able to do it but if he can be as elusive as he was in college ball in the NFL Yeah
