Caleb Williams Reportedly Considered UFL to Avoid Bears Draft

A recently published book has ignited controversy, alleging that Caleb Williams, the highly touted quarterback drafted first overall by the Chicago Bears, actively tried to avoid being selected by the team. According to the book, Williams and his team considered various strategies, including the possibility of playing in the United Football League (UFL), to potentially influence his draft destination.

The book suggests Williams harbored reservations about joining the Bears organization. However, despite these alleged efforts, the Bears remained steadfast in their assessment of Williams as the top prospect in the draft. They ultimately used their number one pick to secure his services.

Williams is now fully integrated with the Bears and participating in team activities. He is expected to be the starting quarterback and is working to learn the offensive system and build chemistry with his teammates. The allegations in the book have not been officially addressed by Williams or his representatives.
