NFL Insider Albert Breer unveils eye-popping tidbit about Caleb Williams’ arm strength originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago
All the talk about Caleb Williams this offseason has been about his “generational talent.”
And as the Bears are poised to take the USC quarterback with the No. 1 pick, some are asking what makes Williams so generational? What about his quarterback play is so special?
NFL insider Albert Breer recently unveiled a unique trait of his that exceeds the rest on the “Toucher & Hardy” podcast.
