    Caleb Williams' offseason decision is another example that he has right mindset to be the Bears quarterback

    Before the Chicago Bears broke for summer break, rookie quarterback Caleb Williams mentioned the possibility of bringing some teammates together in order to work on their chemistry.

    We see it all the time in the NFL - quarterbacks working with their teammates over the offseason. Still, it's refreshing to see a rookie, and the face of the Bears' franchise at that, potentially taking the reigns, himself. Especially when the majority of the skill players are veterans.

    Sure enough, Williams did just that over the offseason and he confirmed as much to reporters on Friday. It wasn't just throwing sessions that brought everyone together, either. They all hung outside the sessions, as well.

    "We did have a throwing session with a bunch of the wide receivers and running backs and all of them," Williams told reporters Friday. "[We're] getting after it, you know, just building a connection is most important throughout the season. So, having those moments, whether it's just actually us being on the field for those two or three days, or us going to dinner, hanging out, you know, kicking our feet up, or whatever [the] case may be happening after throwing sessions or before. Or whatever case may have been."



    Again, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it's still important. The Bears are entering a pivotal year and while they made some more upgrades over the season, said upgrades represent inexperience in this particular system. And that covers the spectrum of veterans like Keenan Allen to rookies like Williams, himself.

    Hell, even D.J. Moore has never played in Shane Waldron's system, before, so he's learning something new, as well.

    So, it's easy to see why coming together, outside of Bears facilities can help the team get off to the fast start it wants to see in 2024.

    "We have some good young guys, and a bunch of other guys, whether undrafted, or whether they were drafted, and then we have some guys from other teams that are vets and been in the league," said Williams. "So, the talent and all of that can only go so far as everybody always says. We have to work together, build a bond, build the trust between each other and go get it."

    Unfortunately, a couple of very important faces in Moore and Cole Kmet were absent from the crowd, but only because of scheduling complications. Both guys would've been there, if they could have attented.

    Either way, it's another example of Williams doing the right things as he enters his first NFL training camp. All of this doesn't guarantee success on the field, but so far, the process is good. And typically, a good process will get you exactly where you want to go.
