2024 NFL Draft Rumors: Chicago Bears Gesture Indicates Surety of Caleb Williams Landing

Will he or won’t he? The hype surrounding USC’s star quarterback, Caleb Williams, keeps getting more interesting with experts providing mixed opinions. While most acknowledge his gameplay, backed up by his Heisman award in 2022, some question his inexperience.

More drama was added when he skipped the NFL Combine and medical assessment, which is a big deal for scouts to assess players. However, recent developments suggest that the Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams are getting closer to securing a deal.

Caleb Williams meets the Chicago Bears for a short-interview

A Chicago Bears fan named Ben Divine took to X on March 10th to post an update on Caleb Williams, the hot sensation of USC. The tweet read, “The Chicago Bears are sending a large group to Caleb Williams pro day at USC on March 20. Shortly thereafter, the #Bears will have CW visit Halas Hall for “an all-day top-30” visit per @chicagotribune”

As reported by the Chicago Tribune on March 8th, there was an ice-breaker discussion between Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears at Lucas Oil Stadium during a short interview at the NFL Scouting Combine. The USC QB felt confident and relaxed after his 10-minute conversation. Williams said, “It was more about them getting to know me, getting to test my mental (capacity), what I know, the base things for what it takes to be a quarterback in the NFL,”

However, fans are more eager to know if the Bears and Williams have finalized their deal. Williams smiled and answered, “In 10 minutes, it’s difficult time to figure out if they’re going to be able to develop you,” He further added, “I enjoyed the meeting. It was a good meeting. But in 10 minutes or so? It’s pretty difficult.”

Well, looking at the response from Williams about the meeting, it looks like the conversation was smooth and the Bears look extremely interested in him. However, there is a concern that may negatively affect this transaction.

Caleb Williams refuses to provide medicals after skipping the NFL Combine

Several top QBs like Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams refused to be a part of the NFL Combine throws this year, with Williams being the only player to not provide his medicals. He later clarified his stand on his status by saying, “I played around 30-something games, I believe. Go ahead and go watch real-live ball of me, and see how I am as a competitor.” Since the Bears are yet to trade away Justin Fields, it will affect their decision-making. However, there is a silver lining to this dilemma as he will provide medicals to the teams who can either draft him or he wants to play with.
