Coach Prime talks about Caleb Williams potential move to the Bears
Deion Sanders recently shared his reservations regarding Caleb Williams’ potential move to the Chicago Bears in an interview on SiriusXM Mad Dog Radio.
Coach Prime urged the USC star to carefully consider the environmental factors, particularly the harsh cold weather in Chicago, which could impact his performance on the field.
“Let me tell you something that I have a problem with. And this kid can flat out play, I think he’s the best one on the board this year for sure. A kid that’s coming from California for the last couple years, right? And went to Oklahoma. That’s not terribly cold. Chicago’s cold, man. You gotta think about that kind of stuff when you’re taking a young man… Not only that, they added what? One or two more games in the NFL. Seventeen games. Come on, man. You gotta factor in that stuff. That stuff matters,” he said, per Yardbarker.
Deion Sanders also expressed concerns about his son, Shedeur Sanders, potentially facing challenges with cold-weather teams in the NFL. Previously, Sanders had been determined to keep Shedeur out of this year’s NFL draft to avoid being overshadowed by Caleb Williams. Now, he reiterates his desire for Shedeur to steer clear of teams located in colder climates.
Meanwhile, the trade of Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, may pave the way for Caleb Williams to join the Bears without facing competition. Moreover, amid rumors suggesting Williams may have reservations about the Bears, he himself has expressed openness to the idea of joining the team.
