LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles has high expectations for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

While the No. 1 overall pick will be measured by his ability to raise the level of quarterback play in Chicago (the Bears have never had a QB throw for 4,000 yards or 30 touchdowns in a season), Poles believes getting there is dependent on Williams relying on his teammates first before utilizing his own talent to make special plays.

"Lean on the guys around him, be instinctual, let those wild plays happen at the right time," Poles said Wednesday.
