"Baba Yaga: the Boogeyman; or more specifically, the one you send to kill the Boogeyman."
If you have never seen the John Wick movie series, then that means nothing to you.
Caleb Williams has seen it.
This week, the Chicago Bears quarterback went ahead and changed his Instagram profile picture to that of John Wick, which could have given us the best indication, yet, that he is about to make his return to the field here in Week 6.
Williams has been sidelined for almost four weeks now because of the hamstring injury he suffered back in Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Bears have somehow gone 2-1 without him under center.
With his status still up in the air and not having heard anything concrete from Ben Johnson to this point, I think we can use his swift, little move on social media as a clear hint.
Caleb Williams perfectly illustrated his inevitable return with the perfect social media move
If you are unfamiliar with the John Wick franchise, there is a point in the very first movie where Keanu Reeves' character, John Wick, has been "out of the game" for a little while. He had lost his wife, tragically, and needed to take some time away from his profession -- essentially a bounty hunter.
Some bad dudes find him, come to his house and not only beat him up real bad, but take his car and, in frightening fashion, take the life of his small puppy -- a puppy which was sent to him as his wife's last gift to her husband before she passed away.
This, of course, would send Wick into a new chapter: vengeance.
Later in this first movie, Wick is tied up to a chair where a few other guys think they're about to end him, and he utters the words:
"Yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm BACK!"
The words were more or less yelled with a passionate, angry voice.
Wick would inevitably find himself out of that chair and, well, let's just say the men surrounding him weren't so fortunate to make it out of the building.
Now, back to reality.
Williams had football taken from him; something he loves dearly. He was down and out for a few weeks, and thankfully, it wasn't worse.
But, being away from the game just a few weeks was enough.
The profile picture change isn't just a profile picture change. For Bears fans who are also fans of the movie series, that profile picture change also came with a loud message from the Chicago quarterback:
"I'M THINKIN' I'M BACK."
At least, that's truly what we can all hope for.
Will Williams return against the Atlanta Falcons in just a few days' time?
This fan base is counting on it.
