Daniel Bartel-USA TODAY Sports

When the Chicago Bears drafted quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, everything changed about the trajectory of their franchise. Immediately, they began receiving hype about being a legitimate playoff contender.

Williams has his work cut out for him if he’s going to lead them to the playoffs, but he certainly gives reason for hope and optimism. Add in the fact that Williams has one of the best offensive supporting casts in the NFL and things look even brighter.

How many quarterbacks around the NFL have the kind of wide receiver room that Williams has? Heading into the 2024 season, Williams will have Keenan Allen, D.J. Moore, and Rome Odunze as his top three targets. All three of those guys are either stars now or future stars.

With that in mind, offseason activities have started and the Chicago Bears are getting their first true look at Williams. He’s passing the tests with flying colors.

Chicago Bears Wide Receiver Gets Honest About Rookie QB Caleb Williams

While the Chicago Bears haven’t even gotten into training camp yet, his teammates are already talking about him with excitement. D.J. Moore, one of his star wide receivers, opened up honestly about the young quarterback and what he’s seen from him so far.

“You can see the natural leadership is there. The natural arm talent is there. Everything about him is just a positive thing.”

Those are big words from a seasoned veteran star wideout like Moore. It’s clear that Williams has already made an impact early on.

If the Chicago Bears are going to have any shot at the playoffs, they’ll need to start the season fast. That means that Caleb Williams will not have time to struggle to find his footing in the NFL. Playing in the NFC North, the Bears will need to play their best football right off the bat.

All of that being said, it will be interesting to see how Williams plays during the 2024 season. There are many fans and media analysts who don’t believe that the young quarterback will live up to his potential. Some believe he will go down as a major draft bust.

Despite the critics, Williams possesses superstar potential and the Chicago Bears have built their roster the right way around him. Assuming everyone plays up to their capabilities, the Bears are going to be a dangerous team and a very entertaining team to watch in 2024.
