As expected, Caleb Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/caleb-williams/#:~:text=Caleb%20Williams%20is%20a%20highly,and%20performances%20on%20the%20gridiron.] made the draft as the #1 pick, making everyone around him proud of his achievement, including his father. Carl Williams played a pivotal role in shaping the success story of his son from a young age. While Caleb trained at his father’s academy, which has produced 2 million athletes in 30+ years, he met other talented kids. When Caleb was crying in his hotel at the age of 12, his father developed a plan to help his child which involved getting up early for training. These early morning training sessions not only helped Caleb get stronger but also helped him find friends who became his rivals in college football and now in the NFL. This rival was picked up by the LA Rams at the recent draft, making Caleb Williams recall a nostalgic moment. CALEB WILLIAMS SHARES A CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE FOR BLAKE CORUM Newly recruited Chicago Bears star, Caleb Williams took to Instagram on April 27th to post a congratulatory message for his former clubmate, Blake Corum [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/caleb-williams/#:~:text=Caleb%20Williams%20is%20a%20highly,and%20performances%20on%20the%20gridiron.]. The former Michigan Wolverines RB was drafted to the Los Angeles Rams on Draft Day 2 at #83. He had a special message for Corum, “BREAKFAST CLUB TO DRAFT,” recalling his early days with the Michigan star. For fans who do not know, Blake Corum and Caleb Williams hail from the same training camp at District Heights, Athletic Republic Capitol Region, operated by Carl Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/caleb-williams-makes-fathers-dream-reality-with-chicago-bears-draft-as-first-pick/#:~:text=Carl%20Williams%20plays%20a%20major,as%20his%20de%20facto%20agent.]. As a part of their training, the young kids were expected to get up at 5:30 AM for a workout session and then a lifting session at 6:30 AM. It was named the Breakfast Club, and the young members carried the camaraderie to their college days as well. BLAKE CORUM REMINDS CALEB WILLIAMS OF THEIR TRAINING DAYS Blake Corum took to X on December 10th to post a congratulatory message for Caleb Williams for winning the Heisman Trophy. He tweeted, “@CALEBcsw, congrats my boy🤞🏽BREAKFAST club days paid off!!” His message reached the USC star who immediately responded, “They paid off brotha. Thanks!!” Caleb Williams then wished Corum a speedy recovery. The conversation in reference happened after Caleb Williams was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2022. After winning, he became the 8th Heisman finalist from the ARCR. Interestingly, Blake Corum was also one of the candidates for the award. Although his 2022 season was cut short because of a torn ACL injury, he bounced back to finish 7th in the voting. Now, the two-star athletes of ARCR will develop another rivalry in the NFL. 

Caleb Williams post a congratulatory message for his former training partner after the latter's selection by LA Rams at the NFL draft.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chicago Bears 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears play out of the NFC North division and have a storied history dating back to the 1920s in Illinois. The franchise subsequently moved to Chicago the following year and is one of only 2 active franchises that got its start from the NFL in 1920. The other being the Arizona Cardinals.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-478292 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/chicago.jpg" alt="" width="1800" height="1200" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">In terms of their standing within the league, the Bears have won 9 league championships and boast a Super Bowl win. Not to mention, the Chicago Bears have recorded more victories than any other franchise in the league. The principal owner of the Bears, Virginia Halas McCaskey, is the oldest owner in the NFL.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears have gone through several notable eras throughout their history, and the 1983-85 period sticks out as significant. Under the tutelage of former owner George Halas along with taskmaster ‘Iron Mike’ Dikta, the Bears went on to snag a chip at Super Bowl XX. Additionally, Mike Dikta is the only person in the modern iteration of the NFL to win a chip as a player and a coach.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-478294 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/beans.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The organization has seen several instances of transformation from the Marc Trestman era to the present day period with Matt Nagy</p>
<p style="text-align: center">The Illinois-based franchise rounded out its 2020 campaign with an 8-8 record placing second in the NFC North. Moreover, this matched their 2019 campaign and is arguably not the most desired finish considering the 5-1 start.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Logo</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Chicago Bears have had a few iterations in their logo design spanning all the way back to their time in Decatur, Illinois, in 1920. They used A.E Staley’s logo to help promote the company. The club introduced the famed ‘C’ logo post-1962 after having a lengthy stint with a ‘bear running with a football logo’.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-478295 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/stanleys.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="784" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">1974 saw the white ‘C’ being replaced with an orange ‘C’ which remains the logo to this very day. Moreover, this hasn’t stopped the experimentation process with several alternate logos involving more blue bear designs.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Owner Achievements</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The Bears are under the ownership of the McCaskey family, with Virginia Halas McCaskey coming in as the principal owner. Virginia, her children, and grandchildren control 80% of the team. Additionally, the Executive Chairman for Aon Corp, Patrick Ryan, owns 19.7% of the franchise.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-478300 size-full" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/problem.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center">The family has had some testing times with the ownership of the Bears, and there have been frequent rumors of a possible split. Despite the rumored friction, the Chicago Bears came in as the 8th richest NFL franchise as per Forbes in 2012, sitting with a $1.19 billion net worth.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Chicago Bears 2022 Sponsors</h2>
<p style="text-align: center">The legacy franchise has tie-ups with several notable brands, including Dr. Pepper Snapple Group, Verizon, and United Airlines. Additionally, the Bears announced that PointsBet would be the organization's first Sports Betting partner. Through the Sponsorship, PointsBet will gain full usage of the Chicago Bears logo and marks.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Furthermore, the Bears were the first in the NFL to have a presenting partner with the ‘Bears Football Presented by BankOne’. They also entered into an agreement with a FOX-owned station WFLD to be an official broadcaster for pre-season games.</p>
