To help welcome Williams into the Windy City, the Blackhawks prepared the QB a jersey to welcome him into the United Center.


The youngster has already received comparisons to elite NFL QB Aaron Rodgers and has found chemistry early in Chicago, making time to throw with WR DJ Moore.



Williams was drafted 1st overall, as the team moved on from former Ohio State University Justin Fields, as their #1 QB was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

«It makes you feel good,» Williams said. «It's like the Kobe [Bryant] – [Michael Jordan] kind of thing where you watch and you mimic.» Williams went on to list some of the things that Rodgers has done in his career that make him want to try while training. He also revealed that he has tried some things that Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady have done in their careers.

«Sitting back, watching, learning taking in what I can take in and adapt to my game in my best way possible and make it my own,» Williams added. «Some of it may look like some of what Pat does, some of what Aaron Rodgers does because they're the best and to be the best you want to learn from the best. To be a leader, you got to first be a follower. With that I watch those guys, I follow those guys. To get to that point where they are, winning Super Bowls, being MVPs or throwing these crazy passes is where I want to be.»
