LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- At the conclusion of NFL draft, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams did something he'd never done before. Hours after the Bears drafted Iowa's Tory Taylor with the 122nd overall pick in the fourth round, Williams found himself watching punter highlights.
Williams was ecstatic to learn that the nation's best college punter, who set an all-time FBS record with a 46.3-yard career average, was going to be his teammate. And the congratulatory message the No. 1 overall pick fired off to his new teammate came with a bold proclamation.
