Nick says Caleb Williams' reaction to CJ Stroud was justified: 'You're not big bro' | What's Wright?

The Chicago Bears dropped to 0-2 after coming up short 19-13 against the Houston Texans. After the game, CJ Stroud told Caleb Williams "Good job out there' and to "stop taking those hits." He then pulled Williams back as he was walking away and said: "Come here. Learn from those mistakes. And everything that you got, bro, is in you already, bro. You're going to be a hell of a player in this league." Social media focused on Williams' body language and appearance.
