Transcript

00:00As a veteran, somebody who is savvy,

00:02who's been around the league, and you've

00:03seen rookie quarterbacks come in and make an impact.

00:05You've also been around a lot of veteran teammates.

00:08What is it about Caleb Williams' presence

00:11that makes him different?

00:13You know, we all talk about his abilities and things like that.

00:17I think it's the intangibles.

00:19So I give you a great example.

00:22This was literally just yesterday, last night,

00:24we did our walkthrough.

00:25And we finished the walkthrough, and coach, he's talked,

00:28and players usually break down.

00:29Usually, a veteran breaks it down.

00:31And Caleb wanted to jump into the middle to break it down.

00:33And usually, as a rookie, he's like, oh,

00:35what does this guy got to say?

00:37But no, he honestly, which is like, hey,

00:39first thing he says is, hey, man,

00:40we're all grown men here, right?

00:44As we're going through training camp,

00:46and we all use the hot tub, we all use the cold tub,

00:49we all use the bathroom, and all the areas,

00:51he was like, hey, man, we're getting a little too sloppy.

00:54You know what I'm saying?

00:56We're leaving water bottles, and towels,

00:58and all type of things around.

00:59Custodians have a lot that they have to,

01:01a lot of square footage they have to cover

01:02around this whole building.

01:04Let's try to help them out by cleaning up after ourselves.

01:06And that's just little things, man,

01:07because I just think that when you want to be a great player,

01:10you always focus on the little details.

01:12You know what I mean?

01:12Not even just the details of the play,

01:14but the details of everything around you.

01:16It's this old video of A.R. Reid was kind of talking about

01:18the year they won the Super Bowl,

01:20about how guys were not picking up their towels

01:24after the showers.

01:24And he was just like, man, how are we going to be great

01:26if we can't pick up our towels?

01:27And it's just like little things like that

01:28just makes the guy special.

01:30Like I said, I think Bears fans are in for a treat

01:32for a little while with Kayla Williams, for sure.
