Caleb Williams knows Chicago Bears fans are following his every move during the offseason as they gauge what to expect from their latest franchise quarterback.
During practice Thursday, Williams completed only three passes during the seven-on-seven drill. He completed less than 50 percent of his throws during team drills, with most of his completions coming on the flat. Worse, he and the Bears offense were out of sync pre-snap. The Bears had difficulty lining up and could not get the snap off multiple times.
In Williams’ defense, he was missing starters Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen, Darnell Wright and Nate Davis for the voluntary practice. However, Williams and the Bears should understand the playbook enough to line up correctly.
Williams responded to a joke tweet by NFC North News on the Bears’ offensive struggles. The account joked that he threw seven straight interceptions and didn't complete a single pass.
Williams didn’t throw seven consecutive interceptions, but he had several incompletions that were almost intercepted over the middle of the field.
Williams responded to the post.

Williams doesn’t seem phased by having one bad day at his new job. He shouldn’t, as he has a few months before the regular season starts. However, he will have to improve his game big-time before September.
