Chicago Bears rookie Caleb Williams is starting to warm up to playing quarterback in the NFL. He’s showing signs of positive development in each game, and the No. 1 pick had his best performance of the season in the Bears’ 36-10 blowout win over the Carolina Panthers in Week 5.
Williams is also starting to warm up to the city of Chicago. He was recently asked about a topic that’s sensitive to the hearts of many people in the Windy City, and his answer could not be more different from Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Justin Fields.
In February, Fields was asked who was the better basketball player between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. The former Bears first-round pick said he’d go with James. The answer was not well received by Chicago fans who love what Jordan did for the Bulls and the NBA.
Per Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times, Williams has a different take on the “GOAT” of the NBA. Williams is a fan of Jordan “because he wins.”

William spent two seasons of his three-year college career at USC, which happens to be in the same city where the Los Angeles Lakers play basketball with James on the team. James doesn’t have as many titles as Jordan, who won six with the Bulls. However, James has won titles with three different franchises, an incredible feat in itself.
Williams values championships. His career goal is to best Tom Brady’s seven Super Bowls. It’s no wonder Williams would choose Jordan over James, especially while he’s the king in Chicago.
