The Chicago Bears have every reason to feel good about its roster heading into the 2024 NFL season as they’ve got several young players to be excited about.
All eyes will be on rookie quarterback Caleb Williams whom the Bears selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Williams was widely considered to be the best quarterback prospect in the class and the best one in the past several years.
With a strong arm, the mobility to make plays with his legs and a knack for improvising when the play breaks down, Williams is the sort of quarterback that every team would love to have.
Williams made a strong impression in his preseason debut against the Buffalo Bills as he started the game and ended up with 95 yards on just four completions.
The USC product showed out again in Chicago’s preseason game though it didn’t seem to be enough for fans on social media via Yahoo Sports.
“Another impressive preseason performance from Caleb.”

Nice plays, but not sure if those numbers are impressive

Looks like a Sam Darnold stat line

The box score numbers don’t look very impressive on paper, but it’s important to remember that he didn’t play the whole game and the playbook is as vanilla as it can get because it’s preseason.
The biggest play of the day came when Williams rolled out of pressure and managed to hit Rome Odunze downfield for a large gain.
Those kinds of plays are what make Williams so unique as a player and he will likely have more of those kinds of highlights once the 2024 season begins in less than a month.
