"This whole storm that happened, it wasn't something that we wanted to happen at this point. We're focused on the present, we're focused on the now," Williams said via The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain on X, formerly Twitter.

Williams clarified if he really wanted to avoid Chicago.
"After I came on my (pre-draft) visit here, it was a deliberate answer and deliberate and determined answer that I wanted to come here," Williams said of the Bears.
Now he's playing for a head coach renown for his creative and explosive offensive game designing. Johnson's Detroit Lions offenses ranked in the top five for yards the last three seasons.
