ESPN broadcaster Troy Aikman expresses concern for rookie Bears quarterback Caleb Williams after he appeared visibly shaken following a hard hit during a loss to the Vikings.
A top sports broadcaster has expressed fears for a popular NFL player after he was seen reeling on the bench from a big hit. Troy Aikman is concerned that rookie Bears quarterback Caleb Williams could develop a confidence issue with the way things are going in Chicago.
The ESPN broadcaster, who was on the call for Monday’s Bears-Vikings clash, explained that Williams looked like “a defeated guy” while he was laid out on the bench after a big hit by Minnesota linebacker Jihad Ward early in the fourth quarter. Aikman referenced his time as a rookie quarterback for the Cowboys in 1989 after being the No. 1 draft pick. “I was 0-11 as a starter and he’s had a much better rookie season than I had,” Aikman said while ESPN replayed the hit during the Vikings’ 30-12 win over the Bears at U.S Bank Stadium. “We were watching him on the sidelines. He was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. When you watch him, you can tell that he’s a defeated guy. “When you mentioned we were watching him on the sidelines, he was grimacing and in an enormous amount of pain. And as I watch him, you can tell that he’s a defeated guy. I mentioned that he hasn’t been through anything like this at any point in his career. What you worry about is a rookie quarterback losing confidence.”Williams was visibly in pain as he was keeled over on the bench. Fox Sports host Emmanuel Acho reposted the clip of Williams and wrote, “This doesn’t look good by Caleb Williams or for Caleb Williams…” It was the eighth straight defeat for Williams and the Bears in a season that has included the firing of head coach Matt Eberflus and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron.Williams, the N
