The course of the Chicago Bears’ franchise was completely altered when they selected quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
They were immediately the subject of excitement regarding their legitimacy as a postseason candidate. If Williams is to lead them to the postseason, he will have his job cut out for him, but he gives us plenty to be hopeful and optimistic about. Things appear even better when you consider that Williams has one of the NFL’s top offensive supporting casts.
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.

While the Chicago Bears haven’t even gotten into training camp yet, his teammates are already talking about him with excitement.

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.
