The Minnesota Vikings were paid the ultimate compliment while also trashing one of their
00:04
biggest rivals. Let's talk about it.
00:09
Minnesota Vikings are one of the more respected organizations in the entire National Football
00:13
League. The NFLPA survey over the last three years has graded them first, second, and second
00:18
across all 32 teams in the National Football League. They are viewed incredibly highly.
00:23
Everybody who comes through the doors speaks very well of the Minnesota Vikings and how they treat
00:28
their people. Now, one of the players that potentially wanted to come here kind of came
00:34
out earlier this week. Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams told Seth Wickersham, who is writing
00:41
the book American Kings, a biography of the quarterback that is set to release later this
00:45
year that he wanted to play for the Vikings. And his dad was a very forthcoming about him
00:51
not wanting Caleb to go to Chicago. He told Wickersham, Chicago is the place quarterbacks
00:56
go to die. He told agents that year, I don't want my son playing for the Bears.
01:01
And when they had their meeting at the combine, Caleb Williams and Minnesota Vikings, he said,
01:07
I need to go to the Vikings. His dad, Carl, was like, let's do it. But there was one problem.
01:11
You'd have to John Elway it. You have to Eli Manning it. And it turns out Caleb wasn't willing
01:16
to do that, which completely understandable. But this tells us two things. One, Kevin O'Connell
01:22
continues to make an incredible impression upon everybody that he meets. Second, it's
01:29
the Bears. Everybody knew that it was going to be a disaster with Iber Fusen Waldron.
01:34
Nobody wanted to really admit it. Caleb Williams was the third quarterback in a row picked in
01:38
the first round where they did not fire the head coach that should have been fired and
01:43
then fired him the next year while that quarterback was a rookie. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
01:48
It did happen. And now the Bears are hoping that Ben Johnson can fix it. But make no mistake,
01:54
this coming out that Caleb did not want to play in Chicago is not good for the Bears.
01:58
And it also coming out that he wanted to be a Minnesota Viking. Gosh, that's just the ultimate
02:03
compliment. Kevin O'Connell is one of the best in the league and he's getting the recognition
02:09
he deserves. I'm Tyler Frunas with A to Z Sports. Skull Vikings.
