One former NFL player has some harsh words for Caleb Williams after the young QB showed emotion on Saturday.
After USC’s loss to Washington, Williams jumped into the stands and cried while being consoled by his mother.
ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III praised Williams for showing heart after the loss.
“Watching Caleb Williams sobbing with his family after losing the game will BREAK YOUR HEART. This young man pours his heart out for his team EVERY TIME he plays. Any NFL team would be lucky to have him as their QB and this emotion shows how much this game means to him.”

Former NFL defensive end Robert Mathis disagreed with RG3’s comment and called Williams soft for crying to his mommy.
“Sorry @RGIII (all love lil bro) but I gotta chalk this one up in the soft category. He ran and jumped in stance to his mommy and cried. I always tell players “I’ll never lie to em” and this is not the look you want from your trigger man.”
