Report: Bears Go Completely Off Track During Pre-Draft Meeting With Caleb Williams
According to ESPN, Belichick remains optimistic about his NFL prospects and has three NFC East teams in mind for the upcoming season. The Washington
It would make sense for the Chicago Bears to approach their courtship of the quarterback differently, as the team is about to select a quarterback with the first overall pick who could make a significant impact.
On Monday, April 22, ESPN’s Adam Schefter revealed that instead of inviting QB Caleb Williams, who is expected to be selected first overall in this week’s NFL draft, to dinner with key players, the Bears brass chose to do so. Although that strategy is not at all typical in the league, Chicago had a clear and straightforward justification for its choice. instead of senior staff members in the coaching and front office. Although theleague does not often employ that strategy, Chicago’s justification for the
“The Bears made a wise decision when Caleb Williams visited Chicago in early April,” Schefter wrote. “They sent Williams to dinner with team leaders Cole Kmet, DJ Moore, T.J. Edwards, and others, instead of having him eat with their front office and coaches. It was believed that by selecting Williams, who is probably the top pick overall, this group would be able to inform the other players about what they were getting in a player who is highly regarded by the team and who other players look up to.

The controversy that surfaced in March after cornerback Jaylon Johnson discussed the “Hollywood stuff” he hoped Williams would leave behind if and when he entered Chicago’s locker room may have played a role in general manager Ryan Poles’ decision.
“You simply show humility by entering the building. In an episode of “Up & Adams with Kay Adams” that aired in March, Johnson stated, “It’s one of those things where you can’t bring that Hollywood stuff into the building— especially not with guys who have played this game at a high level for consecutive years in the league.” We will persevere through it. It sounds like, “Nope.” What were your college activities? The Hollywood? Nope. You must establish your worth. That kind of stuff is irrelevant.
“That thing with Hollywood? Like, [Williams] currently resides in Hollywood. He’s only been there for two years, but already he’s accomplished some pretty amazing things, according to Poles. “He used his NIL to his advantage to establish himself in the business world. And as a result, he will succeed greatly in life. He’s very reserved, though. He doesn’t like the limelight. He makes an effort to blend in.
Nope. What were your college activities? The Hollywood? Nope. You must establish your worth. That kind of stuff is irrelevant.
After three seasons as a starter, Justin Fields was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in the offseason by Poles and company, so Williams may have some work ahead of him if he ends up in Chicago.
Fields was never a great passer, but he was a prolific football rusher from that position. Having said that, the team made significant progress toward the end of the previous campaign and concluded with a 7–10 record, offering genuine promise for future improvement on both the offensive and defensive ends of the ball.
Fans and players, Moore in particular, made some calls in Chicago for the team to bring Fields back in 2024. Now that Fields has been traded, the team will obviously take a different turn.
