The 2024 NFL Draft was one for the record books.
This draft set the record for most quarterbacks taken within the first 12 picks, as teams around the league were desperate to find new players to fill in under center.
While fans of all these teams are excited to see the aggression from front offices, it also makes them nervous.
After all, rookies don’t necessarily have a great track record of first-year success, especially for quarterbacks.
This isn’t stopping Caleb Williams, who put a stellar performance together in the Chicago Bears’ first preseason game.
While it is the preseason, Williams made some throws that made fans stop in their tracks.
Cameron Wolfe recently appeared on the NFL Network, where he talked about what it was like to be in the building for Williams’ first preseason appearance.
“Everybody in a Bears shirt was leaving the stadium smiling,” Wolfe said.

In this game, Williams looked like the prince who was promised.
He delivered and stepped up in big moments, and if there were any doubts about his playing abilities, they have been quelled, at least for the time being.
The Bears still have a long way to relevancy, but drafting Williams was a step in the right direction.
Only time will tell how he’ll turn out, and what the future of this team could, and will look like.
If he does bring the Bears back to the playoffs, this could be a team with nothing to lose, playing loose in the postseason.
