Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat offers some advice for incoming rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. During an interview on Yote House Media’s Green Light With Chris Long on April 9, Sweat, who joined the Bears in 2023 after a trade with the Washington Commanders, shared his perspective. When asked about advice for Williams, who is anticipated to be the Bears’ next franchise quarterback, Sweat’s response was succinct: “Be yourself.” He emphasized the importance of staying humble and not feeling pressured to excel immediately.
Drawing from his own experience entering his sixth year in the NFL, Sweat stressed the significance of relying on the team’s support system. He highlighted the talented players surrounding Williams, such as Keenan Allen and D’Andre Swift, and advised him not to shoulder the entire burden alone.
Regarding the team’s outlook for the upcoming 2024 season, Sweat expressed a straightforward mindset. He also made a bold prediction about a rival team in the NFC North.
Williams, known for his exceptional performance during his collegiate years, is expected to bring his playmaking abilities to the NFL. With the Bears’ strategic additions of Allen and Swift, among others, Sweat believes Williams is poised for success.
