Caleb Williams Revealed The Great Advice Tom Brady Gave Him

Caleb Williams hasn't tried to hide his goal of supplanting Tom Brady as the greatest quarterback of all time. That is something everybody should aspire to be. The Chicago Bears #1 overall pick knows that if he is going to be the Man, he must learn how the Man reached the incredible heights he did over a two-decade career. In an interview with Courtney Cronin of ESPN, Williams revealed he's already embraced the TB12 diet Brady and his longtime trainer devised. However, there is so much more to success than that.

So, the rookie decided to ask Brady for advice. The two have been in contact a few times since Williams entered the NFL in April. The future Hall of Famer harped on a few key things. Find ways to maintain your competitive stamina. Translation: seek motivation wherever you can find it. Also, be mindful of your relationships with your teammates. Understand them as best you can. Lastly, realize the game is hard. Only through work and constant dedication will you give yourself the best chance to win.

Caleb Williams has always been good about listening.

That is one thing many young quarterbacks lack. They get advice from plenty of credible sources, but they never seem to heed it. Williams has gone out of his way to speak with as many experts as possible since he got to the big stage. His ability to evolve as a quarterback at USC can be credited to constantly tweaking his game through tips from established players and constant hard work. Media are already seeing signs of this in training camp. He's learning at a rapid pace, looking more and more like a professional with each practice.

Brady was the same way. He didn't start out looking like a superstar. He looked lost as a rookie in 2000. Only through ceaseless grinding and some timely experience was he able to launch himself to greatness. Caleb Williams won't have to take the long route as a 6th round pick like he did. He has the job from the beginning. If he embraces the work necessary to get there, nobody will stop him.
