Caleb Williams wanted nothing to do with the Chicago Bears as last year’s NFL draft approached, according to a book to be published in September.

According to ESPN's Seth Wickersham in his new book "American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback", Williams father Carl described Chicago as "the place quarterbacks go to die" while Caleb Williams told his inner-circle before the draft "I don't think I can do it with [former Bears offensive coordinator Shane] Waldron."

Caleb Williams' father did not want his son to be drafted by the Chicago Bears — and made his intentions very clear.
