There will be no shortage of pressure on Caleb Williams' shoulders as he attempts to become the franchise quarterback the Chicago Bears have been looking for throughout their franchise history, and it is clear general manager Ryan Poles believes he is up to the task.

Poles explained Chicago's thought process in drafting Williams No. 1 overall during an appearance on Tuesday's episode of The Adam Schefter Podcast and highlighted the importance of selecting quarterbacks teams can win "because of" on the field.

"We all know it's a quarterback-driven league," he said (20:30 mark).
