Bears GM on the future of Caleb Williams if he joins the franchise
With the almost certainty that Chicago will draft Caleb Williams, there's been some speculation as to whether it would be the right place for him. Former NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III is one of those to call that into question, citing the experiences of Justin Fields as a precedent.
Recently Bears GM Ryan Poles addressed these comments on the Pat McAfee show, stating:
"It p----s me off a little bit to be honest with you because we were hired to break a cycle, the same thing when I was in Kansas City — Coach [Andy] Reid, all of us were brought there to break a cycle, and we did. And no one talks about those days anymore. It's all about what they are right now. So, I really believe we are about to break this cycle and get this city in a really good situation and win a lot of games. the past is the past. I don’t worry about that at all. It’s about where we’re going."
