Bears QB Caleb Williams arrives at Halas Hall embracing enormous expectations

Chicago Sun-Times

New Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been under scrutiny for years already, but that’s about to reach a new level in the NFL — and especially in Chicago.

Williams isn’t bothered by any of that.

“Just do my job,” he said Friday. “If you win games, you’re gonna make a lot of people happy.”

When asked why he has continued to ramp up expectations rather than try to temper them, he said, “What’s the reason to duck? It’s here… We’re here. Attack it headfirst and go get it.”

The Bears made a franchise-altering decision to draft Williams first overall Thursday, which had long been expected.
