Former Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum says Caleb Williams will be a Chicago Bear

One former NFL executive has a firm opinion on the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Before the NFL draft, Caleb Williams is a hot topic. Mike Tannenbaum had something to say about Caleb. Who is Mike Tannenbaum? Longtime NFL observers know and recognize him as the former general manager of the New York Jets. He spent many years in the league and has strongly-held opinions about various matters.

Jets Wire recalled one episode from Tannenbaum’s tenure with the Jets:

After taking D’Brickashaw Ferguson with the No. 4 pick, the Jets were on the clock again at No. 29. While the pick originally belonged to Denver, the Jets received it via Atlanta, in exchange for John Abraham.

Tannebaum recalled feeling relieved when the Jets turned in the card that read, “Nick Mangold, center, Ohio State.” That’s when he received a phone call from former Baltimore Ravens executive Ozzie Newsome, who referred to Tannebaum as the “luckiest man in the world.”

Here is Tannenbaum talking about Caleb Williams and where he thinks the USC quarterback will land at the 2024 NFL draft:
