LOS ANGELES, CA – MARCH 20: USC Trojans quarterback Caleb Williams performs drills in front of NFL scouts during the USC Pro Day on March 20, 2024 at Loker Stadium in Los Angeles, CA.

In February, Ryan Taylor from NBC Sports Chicago brought up concerns about Williams’ character and leadership style that emerged during his last season in college. 

In a recent development, Taylor Lewan, an experienced offensive tackle and three-time Pro Bowl selection, made waves with his comments about Williams. 

Lewan expressed concerns about the quarterback’s lack of medical evaluations at the combine in Indianapolis, stating that he didn’t have a positive impression of Williams. 

Chicago cornerback Jaylon Johnson later cautioned Williams about avoiding any flashy behavior within the team.

Bears Eyeing Williams: Mock Drafts Tip Him as Top Pick

Bears general manager Ryan Poles expressed confidence as he commended Williams’ strong bonds with his USC teammates and his exceptional leadership skills on Monday. 

Eberflus appeared satisfied with the information he gathered during his conversation with Williams, which lasted for approximately “80 minutes or so” last week.

Based on recent mock drafts, it seems likely that the Bears will select Williams as the top pick in this year’s draft. 

This prediction comes after the team traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Williams has the opportunity to solidify his position as the top choice when he travels to Chicago next week. 

According to Finley, the Bears expressed their intention to keep instructing Williams in their offensive system.
