[Fishbain] Caleb Williams on wearing 18: “I wore it in high school. I won a championship in it. I also understood that there’s a 13-year vet here named Keenan Allen, Hall of Famer. There wasn’t much of a discussion.” (Caleb did ask, then said, “OK, cool, I’ll pick a different number.”)

18 is a sexier QB number anyways. Don’t google it I’m right.
Pure respect he has. I also like the fact that he wore 18 when he won a championship, just like he’s going to in a Bears uniform.
Just drafted and already doing leadership things.
Oh God guys they were right he’s such a diva and a locker room distraction
Ugh, he’s such a diva.
/s
Everybody who payed for a (non-DHGate) custom Caleb Williams #13 bears jersey punching the air right now
[removed]
Not sure about Allen quite making HOF, but deserves the respect nonetheless.
My wife’s Mike Tomczak jersey is back in play.
I’m just gonna go ahead and say it… 18 > 13
i’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t thrilled about the prospect of landing him based off his “antics” but as each minute passes, he impresses me more and more. i’ll gladly eat crow if he wins games and keeps the locker room culture solid.
Even if he changes it it’s gonna be cool to have his rookie jersey with the og number.
Damn, what an attitude problem right?
I mean call me dumb but I think the QB, the most important player on the team and the most pivotal draft pick since Urlacher probably should get the number he wants without worrying about a guy that’s never played a snap in the organization
Good on Caleb for not being a baby about it though
Time to pull all those Orton jerseys off eBay and change the name plates
I think he is confused. Tyler Scott is our HOF WR with #13
They should’ve retired #18 in honor of Orton.
Caleb: “Can I wear 13, Mr. Allen?”
Keenan: “No”
Caleb: “Okay, Mr. Allen”
Love it.
Such a diva, already thinks he’s better than Kyle Orton!
Sounds like a locker room cancer to me /s
caleb: Hi keenan
keenan: no
caleb: big gulps huh? welp, see you later!
Caleb Williams is the next Peyton Manning confirmed. Nice.
Im disappointed. 13 is a spicier number than 18, it’s a much better fit
The Kyle Orton disrespect.
