Most NFL fans probably know the name LeSean McCoy. He was a Pro Bowl running back for the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills before winning Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After retiring, he has become a top analyst for Speak on FS1. One of his most memorable rants came in 2022 when he declared Justin Fields a lost cause as a quarterback. Keep in mind he did that after the quarterback had one of his best games against the Miami Dolphins. McCoy called him an incredible athlete but utterly ineffective as a passer.
He never backed off this take, either. The former running back made his distaste for Fields known at every opportunity. He must’ve been sipping his tea when the Bears traded him to Pittsburgh for a conditional 6th round pick. Well, McCoy got the opportunity to assess their quarterback situation again when the topic of Caleb Williams came up. With the #1 overall pick’s reputation for holding the ball too long at times, one would think that McCoy would also scoff at his potential.
That wasn’t the case at all. The former Pro Bowler is a big believer in the Bears’ new quarterback.
Unlike Justin Fields, Williams has qualities McCoy respects.
Keep in mind that he’s played with this type of quarterback for most of his career, starting with Donovan McNabb in Philadelphia before shifting to Michael Vick, Tyrod Taylor, and Patrick Mahomes. He also spent a year playing with Tom Brady. The guy understands what the good ones are supposed to look like. His assessment of Williams is encouraging. Those eyes are trained to spot the quarterbacks who can make plays with their arms in adverse conditions. Williams seems to have those necessary qualities.
Thankfully, the Bears aren’t making the same mistakes they need with Justin Fields. They spent the entire 2024 off-season doing everything in their power to ensure Williams has immediate success. They hired a proven offensive coordinator (Shane Waldron), signed a versatile running back (D’Andre Swift), and nabbed two legitimate weapons at wide receiver (Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze). If the offensive line does its job marginally well, McCoy is correct. Williams should have success in Chicago.
