One NFL general manager cited Caleb Williams' pass protection as a major factor behind the early struggles of the Chicago Bears quarterback.
The GM told The Athletic's Mike Sando he doesn't "blame the quarterback at all" with the Bears sitting at 1-2 through Week 3.
"He is running for his life, just like he was at USC last year," the exec said of the No. 1 overall pick.
Another talent evaluator echoed those concerns to Sando and questioned Chicago's coaching.
"The Bears' problems, in my opinion, start with the offensive line and the construction of it," the evaluator said.
