ORLANDO, Fla. — Before the Bears started quizzing Caleb Williams about his USC offense — and teaching him about their own — Matt Eberflus wanted to know more about the quarterback. For 80 minutes or so, the Bears coach sat alone with Williams inside the USC football offices last week.
“Just really hearing his journey — his journey from being a little guy,” the Bears coach said Thursday at the NFL’s annual meeting. “What I gleaned from that is how his mother and father love him very much. Very supportive. You could see his character, his football character there, his football knowledge as I talk through that.
