Seth Wickersham, author, has a book. It has to do with quarterbacks. Let me see if I can give you the official title. It's American Kings, a biography of the quarterback. Does a deep dive to Elway, Manning, some of the legendary quarterbacks, past and present about their lives from high school through college to pro, retirement, and all their experiences on and off the field. Good stuff.

We mentioned a little bit about the book that is coming out on quarterbacks, Seth Wickersham, who does a great job, did a lot of New England Patriotbased books. But he has one on quarterbacks. And there is an excerpt in there attributed to Caleb Williams and his dad where his dad's talking about he didn't want his son to go to Chicago. That's where quarterbacks die.

The book is American Kings, a biography of the quarterback, Seth Wickersham of the Mothership. He describes how Caleb's dad, Carl Williams, asked attorneys to find some way to work around the NFL's collective bargaining agreement, exploring signing with the United Football League and considered publicly ripping Chicago and the Bears just to make sure they didn't draft him.

He says in the book, Chicago is a place quarterbacks go to die. Now, the quote used to be attributed to wide receivers with Chicago. Chicago is where receivers go to die. But here, and the reason why they may have gone to die is that Chicago hasn't had great quarterbacks.

So through all of what was going on, through all of what happened in last year and previous years, I think that was enticing. I think that was something that was glaring to me that I wanted to come here and be the guy and be a part and be a reason on why Chicago Bears turned this thing around.

Seth Wickersham has a book, American Kings, a biography of the quarterback. And in the book, a little preview, Carl Williams, Caleb's dad, said, Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die.

You got to give Wickersham some props. It's Seth Wickersham's book. I was going to give him props. It's not just like some Dr. Seuss book. It's a book.

Caleb Williams and his dad, there's a book coming out. And in this book, his dad said Chicago is the place.

Well, you got to give Wickersham some props. It's Seth Wickersham's book. I was going to get him props. It's not just like some Dr. Seuss book. It's a book.

Seth Wickersham has a book, American Kings, a biography of the quarterback. And in the book, a little preview, Carl Williams, Caleb's dad, said Chicago is the place quarterbacks go to die.

But he also just wrote a book about the position of the quarterback. One of the reasons I love football is that the quarterback position is so unlike anything in sports. I mean, first off, you're only on the field half the time, and it's one of the only major sports you can't see the person's face, but the quarterback is just doing so much, just all the hats they have to wear. And Seth talked about that. He said something really interesting when he came on the podcast. Steve Young and I at one point talked about all the hats you have to wear as a quarterback, and I think we stopped at like 24.
