The Chicago Bears have gone all in on Caleb Williams.
Williams, was of course, chosen with the No. 1 overall pick in this spring’s NFL Draft, and has landed in an offense that could set the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback up for immediate success with receivers D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen and fellow top-10 pick Rome Odunze forming a prolific trio of weapons.
However, there is always a learning curve for incoming rookie quarterbacks, even those who tossed 93 touchdowns to just 14 interceptions while completing 66.9 percent of his collegiate passes.
Through a spring’s worth of Bears OTA and minicamp practices, it seems, though, that Williams is already turning heads.
Caleb Williams Already Impressing Chicago Bears Defensive Teammates

One underrated but critical area of a young quarterback’s success is the ability to dictate to opposing defenses.
One of the Bears’ leaders in the front seven tells ESPN’s Courtney Cronin that Williams is well on his way to mastering that trait.
“He moved us a couple times with his eyes,” linebacker T.J. Edwards said. “The first day it had me and Tremaine [Edmunds] hot about it, but he’s impressive for sure.”
Williams’ physical traits are easy to see on his college film; the ability to make every throw on the route tree, plus-mobility, and accuracy on the run. For the Bears, Williams quickly mastering the keys to success at the position from the mental standpoint could hold the keys to the young quarterback seeing immediate success and Chicago making a legitimate charge at the postseason this fall.
If the earliest spring practices of Williams’ career are any indication, he’s well on his way.
