A clear path has finally been set for Caleb Williams, the favorite to land with the Chicago Bears, after GM Ryan Poles traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers over the weekend. 

But one former high draft pick believes Williams should consider holding out on them and pulling an "Eli Manning" when the 2024 NFL Draft comes up next month. 

Robert Griffin III thinks Williams should do what Manning did ahead of the 2004 NFL Draft, when he told the San Diego Chargers he wouldn’t sign with them, which ultimately led to a trade with the New York Giants.

Even though the foundation has been laid for Williams, especially with Poles trading for Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen and signing running back D’Andre Swift to add more playmakers on offense, Griffin explained his reasoning.

"After everything that’s happened with just Justin Fields, can Caleb Williams really look at that and say, ‘You know what? This is the organization that has my best interests at heart, and they’re going to help develop me into the player I want to become,’" Griffin said in a video posted to his X account. 

"Caleb Williams is on record saying that he wants to be legendary, he wants to rewrite history, and he wants to be the best he can possibly be and win the most games he can possibly win."
