General manager Ryan Poles knew the Chicago Bears were going to draft Caleb Williams. Everybody in the country knew who they were taking.

However, as we all tuned in to watch the NFL Draft on Thursday night, the 10-minute time clock was still counting down for some odd reason.

We are now finding out why, as a video has since surfaced showing the awkward moment Ryan Poles called Caleb Williams and informed him that the NFL told them they needed to wait at least five minutes before they sent in the pick.

“Hello.” “Hello?” “Who’s this?” “Who’s this?”

“They told me to hold it for 5 minutes. I told everyone I’ve been holding for a month.”

“This day is going to go down as an iconic day in Bears history, my friend.”

“This is going to be special. These fans are going to love you. And you’re going to love them. And we are going to win a lot of championships together.”

The decision felt like a foregone conclusion for months. Honestly, no matter what team landed in that spot, they were for sure taking Caleb Williams, who is looked at as a generational type player at the quarterback position.

Williams knows full well that Chicago has long been waiting for a franchise quarterback to take the Bears to the promised land.

For years, the organization has brought in a number of players, like Mitchell Trubisky, Jay Cutler, Rex Grossman, and Justin Fields, in an attempt to reverse its course, but they have all ultimately failed.

 

Williams is supposed to be the one to bring about all of those changes. He possesses the necessary abilities, grit, and playmakers to pull it all off. In addition to having a statue made in his honor, Williams will be awarded the keys to the entire city if he fulfills his potential, shatters Bears records, and—most importantly—helps the team win a Super Bowl.

The Chicago Bears jumpstarted a new era with the selection of USC quarterback Caleb Williams at No. 1 overall in the 2024 NFL draft.

Williams is coming into one of the best situations for a No. 1 quarterback as he has an arsenal of weapons, including DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, D’Andre Swift, and fellow rookie Rome Odunze.

REPORT: Travis Kelce’s So-Called ‘Threat’ To Quit The Kansas City Chiefs Over Harrison Butker Gets Major Update

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker delivered a controversial speech over a week ago, and he is still catching significant backlash over what he said to a graduating class.

At a Benedictine College address, Butker sparked controversy by asserting that women had been taught “diabolical lies” about topics such as abortion, surrogacy, and in vitro fertilization (IVF). He said: “Things like abortion, IVF, surrogacy, euthanasia, as well as a growing support for degenerative cultural values in media all stem from the pervasiveness of disorder.”

After Harrison Butker’s comments caused a stir, about 200,000 people signed a petition requesting that the Kansas City Chiefs fire him for “inappropriate conduct.” The criticism has even reached his teammates, who are being criticized for not denouncing his remarks.

This past weekend, a social media message went viral purporting to be Travis Kelce’s threat to leave the Kansas City Chiefs if Harrison Butker wasn’t released. Kelce is in a relationship with Taylor Swift, who has a ton of influence on everything she does and says, as well as the men she is connected to. That alone made the post believable.

On Facebook, “The Patriots Lovers” posted a post that garnered over 3,000 interactions, 3,000 comments, and 200 shares. However, it was merely a parody account.
