'That's my quarterback': Caleb Williams at center of contentious Bears practice in first day in full pads

Ashlee Rezin/Sun-Times

Caleb Williams constantly conveys confidence, and when the Bears’ first practice in full pads got heated Friday, he jumped right in with no hesitation.

Tension bubbled up almost immediately. On one play early in 11-on-11 work, defensive end DeMarcus Walker — a renowned talker and agitator — got into it with tight end Gerald Everett. Walker crossed into the offensive side of the field and went after Everett after the play, but was stopped by none other than Williams.
