The NFL preseason officially kicked off Thursday night with the annual Hall-of-Fame game taking place against the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans
Even though Williams did not take a snap in the game, it didn’t stop commentators Joe Buck and Troy Aikman from talking about him.
One topic of conversation was the video that surfaced of undrafted free agent quarterback Tyson Baegant reacting to Caleb Williams’s $22.5 million signing bonus.

“Such a great reaction from Tyson Bagent, who was undrafted out of college when Caleb said how much he got as a bonus,” Buck said in the video.
