Bears general manager Ryan Poles prepares for Caleb Williams' NFL debut

Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles said that he expects “great things” from 1st-overall selection Caleb Williams. Emmanuel Acho, Joy Taylor, James Jones, and LeSean McCoy discuss the expectations on Caleb Williams and what to expect from him in his rookie season.

Bears Wire offered this note from Day 3 of Bears training camp:

For the first two practices, the Bears offense had struggled during the two-minute drill, coming out without any points. But on Monday, they finally got the best of the defense. According to the media in attendance, quarterback Caleb Williams led the offense down the field with completions to receivers Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen and DJ Moore. That completion to Moore came on fourth down, which set up the game-tying field goal by kicker Cairo Santos. It was progress for an offense battling what they’ve called a top-10 — or even top-five — defense.

Caleb Williams should make his NFL debut on Aug. 1 against the Houston Texans. An official announcement of who will play has not been made, but it’s hard to think Caleb won’t get at least some time. He needs the live reps, and he needs to be thrown into the fire so that he can make all necessary adjustments.
