Chicago Bears star Jaylon Johnson has offered forthright advice to projected first-overall pick Caleb Williams.
The Bears hold the first pick, and many expect Chicago to draft Caleb Williams as their new quarterback.
Johnson is one of the Bears' best players. Chicago inked Johnson to a four-year extension in early March.
When asked about Williams on the Up & Adams show, Johnson said, "You just humble your stuff coming into the building. You can't bring that Hollywood stuff into the building, especially with guys who played this game at a high level for consecutive years in the league. What you did in college, the Hollywood, it's like, 'Nah, you gotta prove yourself. That stuff like that doesn't matter."
Johnson continued, "I think there's a fine line between trying to prove his point and getting to know him. We want him to be the absolute best he can be. That's what we're bringing him in for, to win games.
"Truly just learning who he is as a person and learning him deeper than just all the Hollywood stuff you see, but actually trying to learn and get to know him and then knowing from there what pushes him."
Touted as a generational prospect, Williams will be under massive pressure if the Bears draft him with the first pick. The Bears have consistently searched for a bonafide franchise quarterback. After missing on Justin Fields, Chicago will hope that Williams is the one.
