Between his play and his magnetic personality, Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams quickly endeared himself to teammates and coaches. The team named him one of eight captains for the season Monday.

Here are their captains:

QB Caleb Williams
WR DJ Moore
TE Cole Kmet
TE Marcedes Lewis
LB T.J. Edwards
LB Tremaine Edmunds
CB Jaylon Johnson
S Kevin Byard

Bears coach Matt Eberflus typically has chosen captains based on player vote.

Williams is the only rookie in the group, which is twice as big as it was last season when Justin Fields, Eddie Jackson, Moore and Edmunds were named.
