In March, Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson was asked about his thoughts on the perception of new teammate Caleb Williams having a “Hollywood” attitude. Johnson responded that such an attitude wouldn’t fit well in the Bears locker room because players need to prove themselves as professionals first.
Reflecting on the interview, Johnson explained during a conversation on 670 The Score that he spoke to Williams about the comments before the draft, as he felt they had been misinterpreted. While their conversation helped clear the air, Johnson emphasized that his comments were not meant to be taken negatively and were simply based on what he knew at the time.
Despite any initial miscommunication, Williams assured Johnson that all he wanted was to win and their conversation led to a better understanding of each other’s expectations for the upcoming season. Johnson even added some playful banter by joking about Williams’ alma mater, USC, which was well-received by both players.
With a new contract in hand and a promising teammate in Williams, Johnson has high hopes for the future of the Bears. The team is looking forward to having Johnson and Williams as key players who can help lead them to success in the years to come.
