LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Ahead of rookie minicamp on Friday, Bears coach Matt Eberflus wasted no time in naming Caleb Williams as Chicago's starting quarterback.
"No conversation," Eberflus said. "He's the starter."
Eberflus' declaration confirmed the inevitable decision for the Bears after they drafted the former Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 1 overall pick last month. Williams was the only quarterback the Bears hosted on a top-30 visit, and Chicago was the only team Williams visited ahead of the draft. Bears coaches began teaching the former USC quarterback their offense ahead of his pro day in Los Angeles and again while Williams visited Halas Hall in early April.
