"I was homeless": Jahdae Walker grows emotional after Caleb Williams' admission about relationship with undrafted Bears rookie WR

Chicago Bears wideout Jahdae Walker played a key role in his team's 22-16 overtime win against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16 on Saturday. Walker caught a 6-yard touchdown pass from his quarterback, Caleb Williams, with 24 seconds remaining in regulation time to tie the contest and send it into overtime. The Bears sealed the win in OT when Williams connected with wideout DJ Moore for a 46-yard score.

After the game, Williams revealed how Walker stayed at his house when the Bears signed the WR as an undrafted free agent.

"Jahdae's my guy," Williams said. "When he first got here, I allowed him to stay at my house a little bit until he found a spot. We've gone in the indoor (facility) and worked out. Just being able to build that connection with him for moments like this. He goes out there, makes the plays and he's in the right spot. The ball will find him, and that's what happened on that play."

When Walker caught wind of Williams' comments on social media, he shared an emotional response.
