MeElory’s highly vocalized comments were answered by Williams in a manner that ignited a controversy. Adding a layer to the ongoing show, he made a tweet saying, “Let’s go back to school again 'cause I’m bored rn..”
In the interview, Williams also pointed out McElory’s comment, “I do wonder, is there a sense of entitlement, Is it the chip on the shoulder that's going to keep him going." Williams stated that there were many successful players at the top of the draft who had a sense of being overlooked.
Williams also talked about his journey to earning the starting quarterback position midway through his freshman season at Oklahoma. He even mentioned the obstacles he faced on his way, including his hamstring injury, which was sustained during the USC 2023 Pac-12 Championship when his team lost against Utah.
