LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Caleb Williams and his offense lined up at the 35-yard line to cap off their first padded practice with situational work.

Just after the No. 1 overall draft pick snapped the ball, the Chicago Bears' pass rush began to swarm.

So Williams clutched the ball, scrambled to his right and unleashed.

He wasn’t looking in short or midrange.

Williams sailed a touchdown pass to receiver Tyler Scott, who sped up just in time to separate from safety Jaquan Brisker and haul in the catch.
