Caleb Williams tries to live up to high-end NFL comparisons

Caleb Williams can’t worry about being the next Mahomes. Just be the first Caleb.

NFL commentators Mike Florio and Chris Simms marveled at Caleb Williams’ talent and how his quiet confidence can ignite momentum for Chicago and the Bears. The Patrick Mahomes comparisons won’t end. Caleb has a lot to live up to.

While it was just an exhibition, NBC Sports Analyst Florio and former NFL quarterback Chris Simms were blown away by just how much Williams mirrors Patrick Mahomes this preseason.

“He’s more Mahomes than Mahomes was coming out of college because he had the ability to watch Mahomes and grow from him that way,” Simms said Monday on “PFT Live.”

“Bears fans are getting very excited but also nervous because you worry about, ‘Maybe it isn’t going to translate. What’s gonna happen? We’re setting ourselves up for disappointment,'” Florio said. “But I think they’re setting themselves up for something special in Chicago with an offense more high-powered, and it’s a low bar, than we’ve seen really in 50 years or longer.”
