It’s safe to say that Caleb Williams and Chicago fans are in the honeymoon phase of their relationship. Williams, the Bears’ new quarterback and No. 1 pick in this year’s NFL draft, was flooded with cheers from fans when he was shown on the jumbotron at the Cubs’ home game in SATURDAY.
Williams, as you can see below, returned the favor.
Williams was one of several Bears players who enjoyed a beautiful spring afternoon at Wrigley. Also in attendance were wideouts DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, tight end Cole Kmet, guard Nate Davis, offensive tackle Braxton Jones and runner Roschon Johnson.
Bears fans are hoping that Williams can be the franchise’s long-term solution at quarterback. Perhaps no team in the NFL has been as quarterback hungry as the Bears, who in the last 60 years have had only two quarterbacks receive Pro Bowl recognition : Jim McMahon (1985) and Mitchell Trubisky (2018).
Additionally, Chicago fans are surely hoping that Williams can bring the franchise back to prominence. The Bears have not appeared in an NFC title game since 2010. Their last Super Bowl appearance was in 2006, and the franchise’s only Super Bowl victory came at the end of the 1985 season.
