Bears QB Caleb Williams looks to join top NFL rookie group

CHICAGO -- Caleb Williams acknowledged at the NFL combine he knew quite a bit about the makeup of the Chicago Bears, who owned the No. 1 overall draft pick on April 25.

"I mean, the Bears were an 8-9 team last year, I believe? Seven and 10, sorry," Williams said in March. "That is pretty good for a team that has the first pick. And they got a good defense.

"They got good players on offense, and it's pretty exciting if you can go into a situation like that."

After getting the call from Bears general manager Ryan Poles -- confirming Williams was the top pick -- he revealed that underneath his navy blue suit was a custom shirt reading "Chicago" in orange gothic lettering on the back.
