SUMMARY
- Recently, Robert Griffin III made a comment about Caleb Williams' potential move to the Chicago Bears.
- Just after that, Robert posted a clip of Conor McGregor.
Caleb Williams, the electrifying star of college football, is on the verge of a potential move to the Chicago Bears. Williams, who had some stellar seasons with the University of Oklahoma and the University of South California, has captured the attention of numerous NFL franchises. The anticipation and excitement are palpable as teams vie to secure the quarterback’s signature.
While Williams has been linked with several other teams, including the New York Giants, New England Patriots, Las Vegas Raiders, and Minnesota Vikings, a move to the Bears is looking imminent. The Bears, who had a challenging season, finishing last in the NFC North, are now at the center of a controversy sparked by Robert Griffin III’s comments about Williams’ potential move.
How did Robert Griffin III reply to fans of the Chicago Bears?
Griffin III suggests that the former USC and Oklahoma star should not make a move to the Bears in the upcoming draft. Taking the example of Justin Fields, the former Bears quarterback, he warns the youngster. Griffin’s suggestion to Williams gives birth to speculation. Griffin III suggests the quarterback should follow Eli Manning, who refused to join the Chargers and asked them not to pick him.
Due to that, the Chargers traded Manning to the New York Giants even after picking him. Griffin said, “Caleb Williams should pull a Eli Manning and demand that the Chicago Bears do not draft him no.1 overall.”
Dear Bears’ Twitter,
Today I poked the Bears and you guys got PISSED. I enjoyed the conversations and opinions of each and every one of you. Even wrote a novel for you guys. If you didn’t read it, I understand. Thank you guys for the passion. I leave you with this message. https://t.co/qMwGEaroMk pic.twitter.com/unv3qCGSIe

Griffin III continued, “After everything that’s happened with Justin Fields, can Caleb Williams really look at that and say, ‘You know what this is the organization that has my best interest at heart, and they’re gonna help develop me into the player I want to become?'”
Instead of choosing the Bears, Williams should choose his home team, the Washington Commanders, as per Griffin III. Griffin also said last season was an awful one for the franchise, and they lacked performance, so Williams should deny joining such an unstable team.
As soon as the words from the former NFL stars went viral on social media, fans of the Bears took a dig at Griffin III. But Griffin has no intention of saying sorry for his harsh quotes. In reply to the fans, he posted a video of Conor McGregor, in which the UFC fighter says, “I just want to say from the bottom of my heart I like to take this chance to apologize to absolutely nobody.” Hence, it’s crystal clear Griffin is not ready to take his words back.
What did Caleb Williams say about joining the Bears?
During a recent interview, Williams couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about the potential move to the franchise. He expressed his optimism, saying, “That’s pretty good for a team with the first pick. They’ve got a good defense. They’ve got good players on offense. It’s pretty exciting if you can go into a situation like that.”
From Williams’ quotes, he has no issue joining the Bears. Williams also thought the Bears would be a perfect place for him as he would have a chance to begin his career in a challenging situation, indicating the Bears’ poor results last term.
