Since his draft prediction, the first overall pick of the 2024 Draft Caleb Williams has been clear about one thing, he is aiming to engrave himself among the NFL greats. The quarterback’s focus is not limited solely to his rookie season, but he is planning for his grand future and success in the league. While he is learning from the NFL legends, he seems to have been impressed by Tom Brady’s iconic TB12 diet.
During a recent interview with ESPN’s Courtney Cronin, the Chicago Bears rookie quarterback revealed that he is not drawing inspiration from the NFL legends’ playing style but also, their lifestyle which made him that consistent. That’s why, he decided to follow the diet of the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
Williams is known to be a huge admirer of the Hall of Fame quarterback’s 22-year career in the NFL and he recently revealed that the lifestyle, especially the quarterback’s food habits played a great role in his success and the reason Brady played for so long, that too consistently.
Obviously he has the knowledge of 22 years, however long he played, of playing ball and being healthy. That's ultimately what I'm trying to reach, is to play that long, play as long as I can, and be healthy throughout all of it. A big part of it is the diet and working out and how you work out.Caleb Williams said
The quarterback claims what would happen on the football field is still a bit out of his control but what isn’t is his diet. That’s why, he has decided to take control of his health from the very beginning so he can be as great as Brady or even more.

He indeed received great advice as Brady told him to stay motivated throughout his season, even when he doesn’t feel like it or his performance is not up to the standards.

He kept harping on competitive stamina, he kept harping on being around your guys, understanding them, that relationship.Caleb Williams said about the advice he got from Tom Brady
He further shared that the 15-time Pro Bowler acknowledged the struggles of the NFL, especially at the quarterback position but what’s important is to give the best performance he can, focus on his diet, and take care of things he can control.
