Chicago Bears Rookie Caleb Williams Shows Promise at Minicamp
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — After three weeks of practice, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams is starting to see the potential of the Chicago Bears offense. As the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, Williams has had his share of ups and downs during the team’s minicamp but is optimistic about the future.
“Right now, we’re working with our heads down and building,” Williams said. “I sit there every day and think, ‘We’re going to be pretty damn good.'” Coach Matt Eberflus has noticed progress in Williams’ performance, particularly in handling red zone situations and understanding various pass concepts.
“I think that Caleb is a talent,” Eberflus said. “His game will continue to develop.” Williams, in turn, praised his teammates for their support and encouragement throughout practices, acknowledging the challenges he faces in perfecting his cadence and timing.
By the end of minicamp, Williams felt he had made strides in vocalizing the snap count effectively and throwing with anticipation. “I came in to work, to work my tail off, show the guys that I’m here, I’m progressing and trying not to make the same mistake again,” Williams said.
As the Bears rookies prepare to wrap up spring workouts, the front office is working on finalizing contracts for both Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze, the team’s other first-round pick. Williams’ four-year deal is estimated at $39.5 million with a $25.5 million signing bonus. Notably, Williams is handling contract negotiations without an agent, relying on a team of legal professionals to secure the deal.
