2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams reportedly had a rough day during Chicago Bears practice on Thursday.

Caleb Williams is in the early stages of practicing with his new teammates. Apparently, the 2022 Heisman Trophy winner and former USC Trojans star had a difficult outing during offensive drills today.

Nicholas Moreano of CHGO Bears reports that Williams struggled with his accuracy and almost threw multiple interceptions. In 7-on-7 drills, the 22-year-old completed only three pass attempts and almost threw a pick to Pro Bowl cornerback Jaylon Johnson, Moreano added.

However, Moreano pointed out that rookie Rome Odunze and veteran star Keenan Allen weren’t part of the drills, and that offensive linemen Nate Davis and Darnell Wright didn’t practice. So read into Williams’ struggles as you will.

 

It’s also one of Williams’ first practice sessions as a professional, so it’s way too early for Bears fans to start worrying. He only turned pro a month ago and needs plenty of time to get his feel for the Chicago offense.

In his final season at USC, Caleb Williams completed 68.6 percent of his pass attempts for 3,633 yards and 30 touchdowns against five interceptions to go along with 11 rushing scores.

Caleb Williams Is In a Spot To Succeed Right Away

Thanks to the Panthers’ generosity in giving up the top pick to Chicago, Williams is entering a much better situation compared to most rookie quarterbacks. This team finished 7-10 in a difficult NFC North last year, and yet there’s plenty of room for Matt Eberflus’ group to improve.

Williams joins a Chicago offense consisting of perennial 1,000-yard wideout Keenan Allen, superstar DJ Moore, the promising Rome Odunze and two quality running backs in D’Andre Swift and Khalil Herbert.

With all of that talent around him, Williams could easily piece together one of the best rookie seasons in NFL history. And it’s not a stretch to believe that he could take Chicago to the postseason in year one.

Former ESPN Host Michelle Beadle Had Some Brutal Things To Say To Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker

Harrison Butker’s speech at a college has provoked debate, ire, and controversy, and now, a former ESPN host is speaking out against him.

Kicker Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs delivered the commencement speech to Benedictine College alumni on May 11, and nothing but backlash has followed him ever since.

He stated that Pride Month was a “deadly sin,” denounced abortion rights, and told women they had been given “the most diabolical lies” during his lecture to a private Catholic liberal arts institution in Kansas.

The Kansas City Chiefs kicker told women during his sexist commencement speech last weekend that their “most important title” should be “homemaker.”

“How many of you are sitting here now, about to cross this stage, and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career? Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world,” Butker said. “But I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world.”

“I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabelle, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and a mother. … I’m beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace one of the most important titles of all: homemaker.”
