Well, let me tell ya somethin’ ’bout this Caleb Williams fella, seems like everyone’s all worked up ’bout his size. You know, how big he is, like a prize-winning pumpkin at the county fair or somethin’. They keep jabberin’ on about how tall he is and how much he weighs, like it’s the only thing that matters in this world.
Now, from what I hear, this boy, Caleb, they say he’s ’bout 6 foot 1, maybe a hair more. That’s taller than my old rooster, Barnaby, but not as tall as the windmill out back. They also say he’s packin’ ’bout 215 pounds, give or take a biscuit or two. That’s a good size, I reckon. Not too skinny, not too fat, just right, like Goldilocks and her porridge, ya know?
But let me tell ya, size ain’t everything. I’ve seen plenty of big fellas who couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn, and I’ve seen smaller fellas who could thread a needle with a football from across the field. It’s what’s in here *taps chest* and up here *taps head* that really counts.
They say Caleb plays quarterback, which means he’s the one throwin’ the ball and tellin’ everyone what to do. That’s a big job, like tryin’ to herd a bunch of chickens in the coop, only these chickens got helmets and pads on. And let me tell ya, them chickens can move fast!
- He’s gotta be smart, gotta know where everyone is on the field, like I know where all my hens lay their eggs.
- He’s gotta be quick, gotta dodge them big ol’ fellas tryin’ to knock him on his behind, like a squirrel dodgin’ my broom when he tries to steal the corn.
- And he’s gotta be tough, gotta be able to take a hit and get back up, like a stubborn weed that just keeps on growin’ no matter how many times you pull it.
Now, they got this thing called the NFL Combine, where all these young fellas go to get measured and poked and prodded like cattle at the market. They measure their height, their weight, how fast they run, how high they jump, all sorts of things. They even check their insides, makin’ sure everything’s workin’ right, like checkin’ the oil in my old pickup truck.
From what I gathered, Caleb, he went to this Combine, but he didn’t do all the things they wanted him to do. He let ’em measure him, alright, and they said he’s a little over 6 foot 1, ’bout 6 foot 1 and 1/8 to be exact, and weighs ’bout 214 pounds. But he didn’t do all the runnin’ and jumpin’ and throwin’ like some of the other fellas. And he didn’t let ’em poke and prod him too much neither. Said he’d do that doctorin’ stuff later, somewhere else. Smart boy, I say. Don’t want them city slickers messin’ with ya too much.
Folks are makin’ a big deal out of it, sayin’ he’s hidin’ somethin’, but I reckon he just knows what he’s doin’. He’s got his own way of doin’ things, like me with my garden. I don’t need no fancy tools or fancy fertilizer, I just use good ol’ dirt and sunshine, and my vegetables grow just fine.
Anyways, they’re sayin’ he’s gonna play for the Chicago Bears. That’s a big city, a lot bigger than my little town, that’s for sure. Hope he doesn’t get lost in all them tall buildings. And they talkin’ ’bout how he compares to other quarterbacks, like this Bryce Young fella. Comparin’ folks is like comparin’ apples and oranges, I say. Everyone’s different, everyone’s got their own strengths and weaknesses.
So, yeah, Caleb Williams, he’s a good-sized fella, strong and sturdy, like an old oak tree. But size ain’t the whole story. It’s about heart, it’s about smarts, it’s about grit. And from what I hear, this boy’s got plenty of all three. He’ll do just fine, you’ll see. Just like my prize-winning tomatoes, he’ll grow and thrive wherever he’s planted.
And let me tell you one last thing, don’t you go judgin’ a book by its cover, or a quarterback by his size. You gotta see what they can do out there on the field, how they handle the pressure, how they lead their team. That’s what really matters, not how tall they are or how much they weigh.
