Head coach Ben Johnson wanted Bears quarterback Caleb Williams to get away from football for a while.
How about basketball?
Williams will compete in a celebrity three-point shooting contest as part of a State Farm event Friday night during NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles.
“Not a hooper, man,” Williams wrote on Instagram. “Gonna go have some fun.”
Williams will compete against Internet personality Druski, streamer PlaqueBoy Max, BMX rider Nigel Sylvester, former NBA star Richard Jefferson … and Thunder guard Jared McCain, who figures to be the favorite.
