These kids are mature beyond their years.
Fuck those that are hating.
I was one of them. Never been happier to be wrong. Bear down.
Facts, bro. DA BEARS 🥸
@@dfrank4life I just had this thought that Caleb was gonna be a diva. ANOTHER reason to not believe the media. Lol. Bear down and God bless brother!
He’s yet to prove he’s not
@@PatrickWilliamShaw yes sir brother!! BEAR DOWN. God bless you.
I was DEFINITELY a Caleb hater. My lord was I wrong. This kid is an absolute gentleman. My apologies Caleb, bear down!
We all get new info everyday that changes our signature a little.
Wow - there are some mature adults who comment!
1-16
real
Same
Both these dudes interview and articulate themselves very well. It's refreshing. Proud to have these two young men.
I was a big Justin Fields fan, but I have to admit Caleb Williams seems a lot more comfortable and receptive in front of the cameras. I don't think the Chicago media will be too much for him.
Totally agree.
It's not the media I believe fans care about. People want to see wins!
said same thing about him being very comfortable without a helmet on in front of cameras. I'm still a JF1 fan. Good kid! he deserves an offense made for him. Bear Down!
@@oliverlacey3765 fans are concerned about play on the field, the media portion of the job is something not all players perform well in. You rarely find a great player that's not confident in front of cameras is what I was referencing.
How much of the offense do you know that was a trap question, trying to get the Bears in trouble already
Man, this dude is so humble and seems like such a great dude all around. Not sure how anyone could dislike him or root against him. Bear Down!!!!!
I can't speak for all but I don't think all of it is dislike or rooting against him. I believe it's skepticism that has been built up over the years. Alot of passionate supporters just want to see the team be contender for a championship
He didn’t demand his #13. He let Keenan the vet. Keep it. He’s saying all the right things. I like him. We’ll see… But i want him to do well. Go Bears!
I want him to do well, but I still think he'll be a bust. His physical tools seem fine, but I don't like his arrogance and mentality. He's brushing off the fact that the NFL is a hard business and he will face adversity. He thinks he's got the gold jacket already.
@@nateandrews1034- He’s played football all his life and dominated at every level. I don’t know what you want him to say? He’s confident in his abilities and he’s ready to go. If you want people to follow you, you’d better know where you’re going.
He knows.
@@nateandrews1034I want my qb to have that confidence, all the great ones do. Fine traits? They’re phenomenal, and he’s going to shine here.
The BEARS hit the lottery with Odunze
Something about Caleb saying "Go Bears" at the end just fired me up and I started yelling! 😂
I was sad to see Fields go, but Williams just seems confident and ready to go to war.
I will say I was one to criticize him but he definitely change my prospective of him. His a confident player and you can't knock him for that. His comfortable in his own skin and looks ready to ball out! Welcome to Chicago Caleb and best of luck on becoming great!
I'm impressed, finally an NFL press conference that you can hear the questions being asked!!
I thought it was just like that with the Seahawks 😆
Fr!
He gets it. Everyone from the custodian on down is part of the process. He's got my vote. These guys aren't just great athletes they get it. Mature beyond their years
At 22 (or whatever age Caleb is) I couldn’t lead a dog on a walk. Some of these young athletes blow me away with their maturity and their attitude.
Joakim Noah wore funky clothes too. I remember when we drafted him I was a little disappointed. Fast forward to now and he’s one of my favorite bulls all time. Let’s go Bears! 🐻⬇️
Facts and Noah gave Chicago his all!
In my opinion Dennis Rodman is the epitome of funky clothes, painting his nails, etc., living like a non-conventional lifestyle. And Chicago never judged him once because he always worked hard and gave his all to the team. If this kid can do the same, Chicago will love him even more.
You nailed it. Noah was a winner!
So was Rodman!
@@randycomendador2675 The people that bitch about Caleb are 12, so they don't even know who rodman is.
Caleb is respectful, Odunze is awesome 🤩
They’re always that way in the beginning give it time when those hardships come when the difficulty of the NFL hits him we’ll see who he is then
@@chrisjacobs9101 The thing is Caleb went THROUGH IT last year. His WRs and OL were fringe UDFA.
The future is here! Not to sound negative, but man, so nice to have him or electric sort of energy in the room than Justin. Wish Justin nothing but the best for Caleb just obviously in my opinion is way better on the field but just the communication has such a positive infectious energy about it. You could see why all of his teammates speak so highly of him.
Justin who? Lol jk yeah I feel that. But it's time to chase greatness bud.
I'm with you. I love Justin. But Caleb is an upgrade.
Positive energy. You realize the entire locker room LOVED Fields right?? Don’t act like he was a negative influence on the team. That’s totally disingenuous
@LLoweGovna I don't think anyone here is saying Fields wasn't a high character, loved player. I think they are commenting on the fact the he was more quiet and serious, whereas Caleb is more relaxed and outspoken. That's all. Just preference.
“Was supposed to be sunny, I guess not” He gotta get used to Chicago weather😂
Nah foreal! Lol he gone learn quick
@@SRT_Tone5 lmaoooo Fr😂
He is from DC… it’s hot, it’s humid, and it snows on occasion. He’s also played in the Rockies… weather isn’t an issue
@@jayrod1980 “weather isn’t a issue”🤓☝️ lighten up goofy. Touch grass
We got get that dome dune soon. Soldier Field is the worst playing surface in the NFL. They can't even host a World Cup game there because it's unplayable according to FIFA.
Good questions, GREAT answers. This is New Chicago! Kid is a LEADER! Havent even heard Rome's part yet.
Rome Odunze continues to impress me. This kid has a great head on his shoulders. I like Caleb a lot, but I *love* Odunze. I think we got the best WR of this draft - not the fastest, not the flashiest, but the *best*. Both on the field and off.
Marvin Harrison Jr exists… but Rome is a stud for sure
Take it from a UW fan, you will love Rome Odunze, both on and off the field.
i must say... #18 seems like a cool cat. Hope he handles game pressure like he handles press conference. When his interview was over he introduced himself to the ladies sitting in front row and sat down to watch #15.... Kid wins a superbowl here he'll be a legend. And for #15. Kid is gonna fit in great with our other two star recievers. Then you add his story of bears jerseys and WANTING to be here. Ryan Poles has done a remarkable job in turning this roster over. He might get Gm of the year if this team can win 1 playoff game.
The Caleb era has begun. Haters going to hate but true fans will support our new QB and root for him and the team to kill it in the next year and beyond. Super Bowl or bust baybe....Bear Down
Finally we got a press conference where we can actually hear the questions 😂😂
I finally said my goodbyes to Justin Fields. It’s the Caleb Williams era… Let’s go! Bear Down!!
U better still be a fan of Justin and root for him also or I will come for u 😂😂😂 just joking but fields will be missed wish him tha best
I wish we could have convinced Justin to stay and return kicks. It’s not so glamorous as quarterbacking, but he’s got a serious talent for open field running.
@@twongreen9968 The Bears finally figure out how to really build an offense. There is no doubt Justin Fields would have succeeded with this offense. Just bad #%*! timing… They never planned or committed to him. This is what commitment to a quarterback looks like!! Build around him!! (It’s almost unfair…)
@@sloebone7399 Yeah… I just think they were never really ready for him. Their entire plan sucked ass!!
@@Justcurious987 I agree with that but 2 me they betrayed him because let’s hope Caleb is a star if he’s a bust and we got rid of fields who had maybe one more year to become elite if fields goes and shine this is gonna be tha worst feeling
This Washington Husky fan just became a Bears follower. I vowed no matter where Rome went I was going too!
He was amazing to watch with Penix and excited to see how he and Caleb gel!
We glad to have a New 🔥💙🔥💙🔥💙🔥 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻 Fann 🐻🐻🐻🐻 down
Thanks! I’m in!👍😊🐻
Cw got that smile glad he happy
I have never been so excited as a Bears fan 🎉
Wow I'm very impressed with these guys confidence, intelligence and speaking abilities. Great presser guys!!!
Well spoken Caleb and Rome. Cool, calm, and collective. That's the way the Young Generation should be poised. Wish you were here in DC. However, the city of Chicago just gained another fan. I will be getting NFL Sunday Ticket for the very first time. The Chicago Bears, Monsters of the Midway 2nd To None.
Welcome brother
cool, calm, 'and collected".. Agree!
I am so glad we got caleb, JF was a good dude but we were not getting anywhere with him. The slander caleb had to go through because of the JF situation was crazy
Rome is now my favorite player already
Both these young men are well-spoken & show well. Love the confident but humble mindset. They seem oised & prepared for the potential bumps & NFL obstacles ahead. Hopefully, the vast majority of their experiences here are positive and they contribute to many wins & championships ahead. #GoBears !
Sounds like wearing the Bears jersey as a younger kid was an OMEN of things to come ! Lucky to have him drop after that Penix Jr pick at 8.
Forget Williams Odunze is so well spoken
Yeah Odunze is gold
I'll take both thanks lol
Forget about our franchise QB?
Man you guys are stacked with Rome and Caleb
Bravo Chicago Bears: 11-6 Season 2024! ANKH-ASE!
That's a hard ask
@@oliverlacey3765 WHY NOT!
1-16 😂
@@Ice_773.troll
Yeah I see 10-7 11-6 easily could’ve been 9-8or10-7 last year if we didn’t have turnovers and incompetent play calling in the 4th last year we have an offense now if up 6 with 8mins left we can close it out with touchdowns which helps our defense last year defense was hanging on as long as they can with our horrible play calling
Caleb has Swagger. Odunze has Class.
How could you not love these young players!! Caleb is incredibly humble and the love for the game is so undeniable!!
Congratulations and welcome to the Chicago BEARS guy's. Very humble and confident young men I think they will be great teammates. Go out there and and ball and have fun could be a couple of the greatest one day. Chicago up BEAR DOWN 💯🐻🏈 Exciting 40/51 remember them
This kid gets it! I'm so amped for what's coming!
Both of them look handsome and intelligent. Can't wait to see them on the field. I am not a Bears fan. And always turned when they are on TV except when they were playing my team. But now I will watch! I think Rome will be a coach one day. Got that feeling that these two are going to be VERY special!
First day of many championships!!! Welcome Caleb and Rome!!!
Anyone else feel like children on Christmas getting their new toys?
A very accurate analogy DaBears🎉
love these young Bros
Most optimistic I've been, about my BEARS, since the '80s.
What nice young men
What an asset to our team
Go Bears!
Can’t wait Can’t wait Can’t Wait!! #DaBears
He wants a team that wants to win. If he gets to the super bowl, Chicago will erect statues and name streets after him. And he knows it. Hes all in!! 🐻 ⬇️
my right ear loves this
cant wait to see him on the field! go bears!!
Excited about this season!
At that moment Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers felt the true terror...
Love these guys and excited for the first time in a long time to see what the Bears do next season. Go Bears!
Lets Go Bears!!!!!💪🐻💪🐻
So glad we got these pics. Can't wait for the season to start im excited 😆😆😆😆
What awesome young men they are so humble and very articulate .
Of the top 10. These 2 guys know how to interview and very charismatic
Half the haters will be painting their nails by end of the season. 2 huge pieces to this team. It’s gonna be fun!
Let's gooooooo Bear Down
This makes my heart smile😊😊😊😊
Seriously mature, polished and confident...not cocky! Awesome dudes!
Williams is cocky. But so was Michael Jordan. If he produces then who gives a shit lmao
Audio issues aside, love the answers this guy gave.
Lets goo Williams and Odunze love that you guys in Chicago im a die hard fan hard work dedication my Team Bears Down baby much love lets gooooooooooo
Love there attitudes. Bear Down
Dude doesnt just want to win. He NEEDS to win and that is rare for a bears qb. As a black sheep myself i respect the eccentricities as well. Welcome to the bears bro.
The stupid loud cameras are completely for show, they can be silent. we live in idiotic times.
This guy is going to be impossible to hate. I really hope he has success here. He can be a real leader for the whole city.
I'm excited to see these play
They got swag on top of swag.
They're Gonna Do Great In Chicago
Anyone else notice Caleb set up the chair in front of the mic when he got on stage and folded his jersey like right way.
He likes to be prepared and sounds quite intelligent. Excited to see him get to work. On and off the field
He is definitely in a better situation than Justin.
Im a diehard Bears fan and I look forward to a funky QB 2024 version Caleb Williams.
Justin Fieldser here. This guy definitely grew on me I was one who didn't take stock in his tape and when I did spec the Texas game I was humbled. Love JF1 But this was a Kobe Bryant-like trade and player who beyond being Great if not better than Justin, It feels good that we fulfilled this kid's Dream of being a Bear and him having friends in the locker room to help along the way. It's just cool asf to see as a Chi Native.. Bear Down!
Thank you Carolina! Now watch us go win a superbowl!!
Lovie Smith! ❤
Love the young man’s poise! Great 1st impression
I love these kids. 🐻⬇️
I'm not going to lie I'm excited for our team this year I like his answers seems confident good luck caleb Williams and Rome bear down I'm calling it right now super bowl 👍✌️🙌🙏👍💪🤞🤙
I’m most excited to watch the new season with new players. Bear down always. I’m waiting on that jersey though.
85 bears are history
Let’s go caleeeeeb
BEARS are FINALLY STACKED!!! 💪🙏🐻⬇️
2 great kids. A tribute to their parents 👍🏽👍🏽
My left ear loved these guys
That camera 🔥
Washington huskies fan here- Rome Odunze was the best WR in this draft and it will show. MPJ also was the best quarterback mark my words.
As an SC Alum, Odunze is the best WR in the draft!
Montana/Rice 2.0
I seriously thought the same thing! Great comp...that is the ceiling!
These dudes are going to be good.
he mentioned 3 minutes 33 seconds for a reason. godbless, the bears are in good hands...
ITS A NEW DAY YES IT IS!🎉
Hope he starts mentioning his best receiver in upcoming interviews. DJ is going for 1500 this year and 12 TD''s
Mamba mrntalities! Lets go!!
Outside of injury- I don’t see him not being anything but special and a winner- keep drafting well in future
This is huge.
Yesterday it was snowing today it’s raining summed up Illinois in a nut shell my guy gonna fit right in.
Not a fan of this mtfk but if the numbers don't lie we should be good for the next couple of seasons if the team stays together and healthy. GoBears 🙏🏽👍🏾
Rome, the term is synchronicity, not coincidence. Simply put, synchronicity is a meaningful coincidence with an acausal relationship/connection. :-)
The sky is the limit, #18 Caleb!
Caleb is being put in a very good situation for a rookie 1st overall pick, or any first round QB really. He 's got weapons galore, and wherever he throws the ball there will be someone more than capable. Yes there will be bumps and hiccups along the way but the future in Chicago is the brightest its been since around 83 when we had our best draft until now (
Jimbo Covert HOF Tackle, Willie Gault WR. Mike Richardson DB, Dave Duerson DB, Tom Thayer G, Richard Dent HOF Edge, Mork Bortz OG), and built their Superbowl team. We still have a few things to shore up, a 3 tech Def Tackle, more IOL depth, eventually going to need another RB, a young Free Safety, and maybe some other holes that will pop up during their rookie season but are in good shape for the future.
Both young men are very well spoken. Learn that playbook and let’s go.
Listen, more than skills, more than talent, any person that considerate and detailed in care and how they go about business overall -both of them did that- I just think we can rest assured that along with the others we're in safe hands with these two new addictions!!1 GO BEARS!!!
Got both jerseys hope y’all got yours
LETS GOOO
I'm a big Justin Fields fan, but starting to warm up to Caleb, him and Rome seem to be very mature, and humble young men, who I think will be a great combination in the years to come.
