Caleb Williams’ early NFL performance has the Patrick Mahomes comparisons rolling in, but the No. 1 pick and Chicago Bears rookie quarterback has his own thoughts on that.

“It’s respect,” Williams told the media on Saturday, Aug. 17, after a 27–3 rout of the Cincinnati Bengals. “It’s cool and all, but I’m Caleb Williams. Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes. Tyreek Hill is Tyreek Hill. Much love to them and things like that—I’ve met ‘em, talked to ’em both, things like that—but we’re here to win games for the Chicago Bears. Da Bears.”
