The Chicago Bears have officially named Caleb Williams as their starting quarterback, solidifying his position as the team's No. 1 QB. Head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed this decision, emphasizing that there was no doubt about Williams' role on the team.
The Bears' commitment to Williams was evident early on, as they traded away Justin Fields to Pittsburgh in March to make room for the No. 1 overall draft pick. Previous attempts to groom rookie quarterbacks, such as Mitchell Trubisky and Justin Fields, with veteran backups did not go as planned, but the organization is optimistic about Williams' potential as a generational talent.
