Kay Adams Reacts to Rookie QB Caleb Williams Being Among 8 Bears Captains Named this Season

the Bears might have made the biggest flash I've ever seen when it came to announcing team captains for 2024 they choose four captains on defense four on offense which included rookie Caleb Williams by the way and before you start asking things like well did he really earn it here is head coach Matt eberl explaining how it happened when he was asked if he'd ever had a rookie Captain before yeah I haven't had had that before uh but again I I put it to a vote um I had it with offense and defense and had the guys rank those guys and uh he came out really high so uh and all those guys did that's what's great about it and we had other guys that had great great votes too just not enough to get into that Captain's vote but uh that's a really good sign that he's got leadership throughout the entire team it's one thing to be named the starting quarterback pretty much from the moment you show up but to be voted a captain by your peers before you've ever played a game in the NFL is wild it is a lot and I don't think it's BS it tracks with what we've all heard what I've heard from Caleb's teammates I was there at Camp um leadership kept coming you know I was expecting to feel some sort of rookie young 20-some Vibe I didn't I felt confidence I felt you know a lot of poise from him I felt leadership the second I sat down with him and if you're wondering um about what kind of a leader he is what his style is here's what he said to me I'm a little fiery I like I like uh I like things being right I like things being perfect I like us getting you know getting the stuff right obviously I have to control it to a certain extent uh because of position because you know everybody you know is going to look at the QB and things like that if I'm out there losing my losing my stuff um it's not going to be a good look for you know the next play or for defense whatever the case may be so um so so I would say a little fiery but also you know in control not naming names but some people out there have questioned the idea that a rookie can be a leader and I do not think that that's totally fair I think guys of uh Natural Instinct I mean here was watching him on the field this is the best play of the preseason oh my God I lost my actual mind I think Caleb is that dude it's I just like how we like Splash that random random play in there which we love uh I mean it's all resonating it's all working and we see what they do his debut uh Sunday at Soldier Field against the Titans cannot get here fast enough hey everybody thank you so much for watching you can subscribe right here to get the latest from the show and check out more of the best clips from up and Adams or go watch a few segments from other shows on FanDuel
