Without any surprise, Chicago begins a new era by selecting Caleb Williams. The USC quarterback expected as the first player called up in months has therefore seen his status confirmed.
With the departure of Justin Fields, sent to the Steelers in March, the Bears had prepared their long-standing choice. At 22 years old, Williams is a prospect who has had many NFL scouts drooling over the past few months. Capable of incredible throws, his arm is a machine big plays which should delight the supporters of a franchise which has never known a truly great quarterback.
Chicago's new playing master inherits a team that is certainly still in transition but is notably strong with a duo of very high level receivers with DJ Moore and Keenan Allen who arrived a few weeks ago.
