Bears QB Caleb Williams shares honest opinion on Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers

Caleb Williams grew up watching some of the best quarterbacks ever, including Tom Brady, playing in the NFL. He is also fortunate to be in the league at the same time as Aaron Rodgers. The Chicago Bears star shared his opinion about the two legends, and he has nothing but praise for them.

Williams has not faced Rodgers. He entered the NFL in 2024 as the Bears’ No. 1 overall pick, but the four-time MVP was sidelined during the Chicago-Pittsburgh matchup last November. Brady, on the other hand, retired for good in February 2023. He hung his cleats up for good as a seven-time Super Bowl champion, five-time Super Bowl MVP and three-time NFL MVP, among other accolades.

Williams appeared on the “Hot Ones” show and talked about different NFL topics. He was asked to share the first word that comes to mind when Randall Cunningham, Brady and Rodgers’ names are mentioned.

“Randall Cunningham? Cannon,” Williams said. “He could do what I did against the Rams, 20 extra yards, hose the ball anywhere on the field whenever he wanted. Tom Brady? Killer. Two-minute killer, moment killer. Aaron Rodgers? Magician with the football.”

The 24-year-old also expressed confidence in his skill set when the host mentioned his name.

“Caleb Williams? All of the above,” Williams added.

He has a chance to build on his strong 2025 season. Williams turned many doubters into believers with his performances last year. He led the Bears to an NFC North title and reached the Divisional Round. The USC product completed 330-of-568 passes for 27 touchdowns and seven interceptions. It all starts on Sept. 13 when Chicago takes on the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium to open its regular-season slate.
