Patience, urgency flow together as Bears develop rookie QB Caleb Williams

There will be many aspects of new Bears quarterback Caleb Williams’ play to scrutinize in his rookie season, and that’s well underway in the early phase of mandatory minicamp.

The nitpick item of the day Tuesday was his cadence at the line of scrimmage, which led to several false starts and frustration from coach Matt Eberflus. Williams also threw an ugly interception in seven-on-seven work, though Eberflus seemed more inclined to overlook that.

Williams also made impressive throws into tight windows, hitting receiver DJ Moore on the sidelines a few times and making nice passes underneath to receiver Keenan Allen and running back D’Andre Swift.
