Shane Taube is so pumped for the Chicago Bears season opener Sunday he plans to show up hours before kickoff with hopes of being the very first fan to enter Soldier Field.

Why? Taube, 50, hopes he can get rookie Bears QB Caleb Williams to sign the jersey he bought — even before Williams ever took a snap in the NFL.

Taube is not alone in his enthusiasm for Williams’ NFL debut, which has led to what seems like an unprecedented level of hype for a Bears home opener.
