REPORT: Chicago Bears Veteran Had INTERESTING Reaction To Caleb Williams’ Well-Documented Struggles At OTAs(O)
The Chicago Bears drafted Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall and are building their roster around him. But he hasn’t gotten off to the best start, as he reportedly struggled during their first full-team OTAs.
There’s a lot of enthusiasm in Chicago right now as fans reckon the Bears are finally poised to make a run at a noteworthy season, but the recent reports could have them worried.
Williams is reported to have thrown multiple incompletions and near interceptions in practice, completing just three passes in seven-on-sevens,
with Jaylon Johnson nearly picking him.
Most of his issues stemmed from holding onto the ball for a long time.
“It’s worth noting that Rome Odunze and Keenan Allen did not participate in 7-on-7s and team. Also, Nate Davis and Darnell Wright were not practicing today,” Bears beat reporter Nicholas Moreano wrote.
There’s no reason to hit the panic button just yet, though. Williams will have four months to get himself in shape, plus there were key players who were not around for him to throw to.
It’s something the team’s veterans have tried to get him to understand.
