Former Teammate Sheds Light on a Completely Different Side of Caleb Williams
It is no secret that Caleb Williams is a polarizing figure in the sports world. He’s one of the first athletes to become a true superstar under the new NIL era. Amidst the many headlines and rumors about his personality and character, Tahj Washington, a former teammate and 2024 NFL Draft prospect, spoke about Williams on a recent episode of the BFR Podcast. Washington shared valuable insights into Williams personality as a teammate and friend, discussing their time at USC and his own football journey.
One interesting observation from Washington was how Williams’ mindset transforms on game days, similar to the mentality of basketball legends Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.
“On game-day he is different. Through the week he is chilling, bubbly.. but on game day don’t talk to him, just let him get in his mode. Game-day is a business day.”
This is a mentality that will bode well for Caleb Williams at the next level but especially in a city like Chicago. To hear the full conversation with Tahj Washington, you can find the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred podcast platform. Additionally, the show is available on YouTube.
