Even though Bears rookie QB Caleb Williams admires Aaron Rodgers more than any NFL quarterback in history, he's chasing the unanimous GOAT in the sport: Tom Brady.
"I want to play at one place for 20 years and chase one guy, No. 12 (Tom Brady)," Williams said on "The Pivot" podcast ahead of being drafted by the Bears.
On the lock screen of his iPhone, Williams writes out his short and long-term goals. One was being the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He did that. Another one, the more eye-capturing one, is winning eight --- yes, eight --- Super Bowls.
That would surpass Tom Brady's whopping seven rings, which is the impetus behind the goal. On the NFL Network, Brady responded to Williams' goal of chasing his career legacy.
"Everyone's gonna find different ways for motivation. And that's certainly a way Caleb can find it," Brady said. "A lot of people are gonna find different motivations. I found the ways that I did, that were useful for me."
Williams expressed his lofty goals to the Bears well before being drafted. Between his top-30 visit with the team and the NFL Draft, Williams reportedly kept in contact with the Bears, telling them in separate Zoom sessions about his goals of surpassing Brady's legacy.
