00:00But the good thing about it is that his arm action is quick.
00:03You know, I use the term methodical, you know, in recent years with Justin Fields as a Bears quarterback.
00:08Yeah, but this is different.
00:10It comes out of his hand in a way like this.
00:12This is the least Bears-y looking release on a quarterback.
00:17I can remember in a long time.
00:19Like this, Bears quarterbacks usually don't look like that.
00:22That thing zips out of there.
00:25And to get the information from your brain and out through your right arm and out your fingertips, that load to arrival.
00:32Once you've decided to deliver the football, how long does it take to get out of your hands?
00:36That's one of the areas where Caleb is well above average in that regard.
00:40The arm action and not just the rapid nature of the arm action,
00:44but how quickly he can still get the football there with accuracy.
00:48You know, like a shortstop, some kind of middle infielder whose body can be in these odd places,
00:53but still deliver it.
00:54Deliver the ball where he wants to with quickness, with timing, with rhythm, with precision.
01:00And he's very good in that regard.
01:02So as the mental processing continues to quicken,
01:05as long as the accuracy in a variety of these ways where, you know, once he's decided to throw it,
01:10he can get it out of his hands really quickly.
01:12Not only the velocity, but the information from the brain out through the right arm.
01:17That load to arrival is very quick for Caleb Williams.
01:21And so as long as that stays, as the amount of info that he has to process begins to ramp up,
01:26and though those gigs of RAM, you know, have the potential to be overloaded at times,
01:31you know, maybe the system wants to shut down a little bit.
01:34That's where the physical traits being married with the mental traits will end up being really key for him.
01:39And so the mental aspect of the reprogression from game one to game two for him,
01:44it's going to be a very big deal.
