Chicago Sun-Times
When Caleb Williams came to Chicago as the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s draft, I wondered in print whether his considerable talents would make him Bears-proof. Was he so good that not even this clumsy franchise could ruin him? Given the Bears’ struggles and screwups the previous four decades, it was a bold, naive question.
Williams’ up-and-down 2024 season offered a definitive answer: Of course the Bears could mess the kid up. Not all the way, but they could bring him uncomfortably close to the edge of lasting damage.
