Bears rookie QB handled his introduction to the offense and new teammates the way the team hoped and heads to a break thinking about more work ahead.
Coach Matt Eberflus doesn't plan to store Williams away like a valued family heirloom during preseason games and is coming up with a plan for playing him that could be based on what other teams have done with their rookies.
The Bears will learn plenty more about Williams then, but they say they have already, just as he has about the team and what's ahead. "All of us will be getting together," Williams said. "We actually were all texting last night in the group chat trying to figure out where exactly we want to be in the world, where we're going to be throwing, working out, and bonding and things like that.
"I would say the biggest thing that I accomplished was one, building the connection with my teammates and those relationships," Williams said of OTAs and minicamp. "Hanging out, going to TopGolf, playing vs. Cole and Brett and them. Or also just hanging out with the rooks and us going to movies, hanging out, going to dinners and things like that but also being in here laughing and joking, being in the locker room.
"That's a key part of playing quarterback and really playing in the NFL at all the positions," Waldron said. "Knowing that, and I've mentioned this before, everyone you play against is good. Defenses have great players all around, offenses have great players all throughout the league, so there's going to be some good times, there's going to be some bad times.Many NFL scouts reportedly believe the Williams to Moore connection could easily be “Top-10” in the NFL.
