JUST NOW: Caleb Williams reveals a “cool” fact about maybe joining Commanders

Is Williams a good match for the Commanders?

The excitement around the draft is growing as this week’s NFL combine gets underway. That means there will be ongoing conjecture as to which team will select quarterback Caleb Williams, who is expected to be the first overall pick in April’s draft.

The Chicago Bears had the first pick, and while the majority of the league thinks they’ll choose Williams, Chicago may choose to keep Justin Fields, the current starter, at center.

The Washington Commanders would be the next logical destination for the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner if the Bears decide to hold onto the No. 1 pick and decide not to draft Williams. With a projected second-round pick, the Commanders may consider choosing a quarterback.

Williams is willing to play for his local team. He was raised in the Washington, D.C., region.

Williams stated, “It’d be really cool because it’s so familiar,” according to Pete Thamel. Every action has a proper time and location. Being in the facility, on the field, or watching movies is both my job and my pastime. or unwinding and getting ready for the next game or day.

“Winning games is my main goal and focus, and I’ll remain focused on achieving that goal.”

Relocating back home doesn’t seem like it would be a distraction for Williams, who is ready to establish himself as the NFL’s next big thing. Given the recent performance of the Bears and Commanders, there have been suggestions that he might attempt to pressure a trade to a particular team. Williams refuted such idea, saying he is thrilled about the chance to play for either team.

The Commanders routinely have low attendance and haven’t won a postseason game since 2005. The latter would alter with Caleb Williams on the team, and given his professional mindset, a playoff victory might follow.
