Any speculation that he may not end up in Chicago was dispelled when Justin Fields was traded. It's not a surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Williams' lack of additional visits makes his historic decision at the <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/tag\/nfl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NFL<\/a> Scouting Combine a lot more logical. He was roasted by a large number of critics at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 22-year-old chose to withhold his medical information. No one in <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/nfl\/\"  rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NFL<\/a> history had done so. Many quarterbacks do not throw. Many athletes do not partake in on-field testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams did not do either of those things. Nor did he participate in the medical evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His logic was simple: why share that information with teams that can't draft him?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than sending it out to all 32 teams, Williams kept it to just one \u2014 the Bears. The other 31 organizations don't need to know his business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only his future franchise needs to know what the deal is with all of his measurements and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Williams made the decision that made sense for him. Chicago clearly does not care. If it has any requests for his information, it will get it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caleb Williams is going to be the first overall pick in the NFL Draft.
