Caleb Williams 1-on-1: Madden, old soul, & "goldfish" approach

About this episode

Chris interviews Caleb Williams about his Madden cover selection and his football journey.

Chris goes to Chicago to interview Bears budding superstar QB Caleb Williams, fresh off the news of his Madden cover selection. Williams talks about where he got his strong arm from, his 2nd-favorite sport growing up (it’s not the one you’d think), and what he’s learned from “psycho in a good way” Ben Johnson. Plus, Chris tells Caleb about the celebrity who’s already a big fan of his.
