Chicago Bears fans have added to the hype surrounding their top draft pick, with the Bears confirming the trade-off for Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Excitement has risen for their fans regarding the incoming signings. USC Trojans’ Caleb Williams has been rumored to be drafted in the first round.

However, fans have mentioned Ryan Leaf in a hilarious flare-up on social media. They are poking fun at the stint of his career in the early 2000s. With fans questioning the potential future destination of Caleb Williams amidst his father expressing his affection for the Commanders, who also enjoy the second pick, it will be interesting to see where Williams finally goes.

Ryan Leaf’s comparison to Caleb Williams leaves fans in disbelief

Ryan Leaf is known for having an active social media profile. He often shuts down trolls trying to poke fun at his playing career or legal issues. However, fans have been trying to make comparisons regarding Justin Fields’ move to the Steelers. Leaf had played for three teams in the brief span of a year. He was drafted by the San Diego Chargers as the second pick, just behind Peyton Manning in 1998. Unfortunately, he did not live up to his hype as he struggled with addictions and discipline and even ended up in prison by the end of his career.

Fans are also drawing comparisons to Caleb Williams. In the words of Leaf, they suggest he might not be a starter for any team that drafts him. This hints at Williams being on the move again, drawing a similarity between him and Leaf for unfulfilled potential. Are the comparisons valid? What are your takes on this?

However, it is essential to remember that comments on social media often belie reality. Williams has been a strong prospect, and despite the questions regarding his adaptability, he can be a strong prospect if drafted.

Fans position Caleb Williams as the next Ryan Leaf

Fans have expressed mixed opinions about the Bears being linked to Caleb Williams amidst Justin Fields’ departure. While some are excited to witness the top QB of the 2024 class play for their franchise, many need to see the potential in him to take forward the Bears name. Some even called him “Bust Material” for not stepping up in big games. A fan expressed his “HOT TAKE,” saying, “The Bears should trade down a couple of picks and not take Williams. Bust material incoming.”

Another user found a hilarious resemblance between Williams and wide receiver Keenan Allen. He said the two players who looked alike would eventually form a strong partnership on the field. He said, “Caleb and Keenan will be fast friends. Not only because of their talent but they kind of look alike, too.”

One user had a brutal take on Williams moving to the Chargers, calling him a “drama queen” for his antics during his college days. This showcases how mixed the fans feel about the young quarterback. He expressed his opinion by saying, “I hope the veteran leadership keeps his head on straight. I’m a drama queen in college, but now it’s a much different game.”

Drawing a final inference to Ryan Leaf, a user commented on the post highlighting Williams’s inability to perform in big fixtures. At the same time, Leaf’s professional career halted at just 25 games. Williams still has a long way to go before sealing his legacy. He voiced his concerns: “Man can’t win big games and cry when he makes mistakes.”
