Former NFL coach and player Jeff Saturday: Bears drafting Caleb Williams would be a mistake

Jeff Saturday: great player, terrible coach. Does his view matter?

Jeff Saturday was a great NFL center with the Indianapolis Colts. He played on the Colts’ elite offensive line in Front of Peyton Manning and won a Super Bowl with the franchise. He knows what great quarterbacks look like. He played with one. However, Saturday was an awful NFL head coach. He made horrendous decisions and showed no feel for the job. He did not last long in a very demanding line of work. With all of this in mind, how much should Saturday’s opinions count for when evaluating NFL draft prospects such as Caleb Williams?

Saturday thinks the Chicago Bears would make a mistake if they drafted Caleb Williams. Is this more a product of Saturday being skeptical of Caleb and what he sees in the quarterback, or is it more a product of Saturday thinking Justin Fields deserves more time and one more genuine opportunity in Chicago? It’s the debate a lot of NFL experts are having, and it will continue through April and the draft. All eyes are on Caleb Williams as the center of the conversation in this NFL offseason.
