Imagine the confidence of Caleb Williams when at 23 he strode into one of the most high-pressure jobs, new quarterback of the beloved and beleaguered Bears, with a smile on his face.
The No. 1 draft pick showed up for his first day at Halas Hall a year and a half ago in a black suit with a $75,000 watch on his wrist and told everyone to bring on the expectations. He planned on immediate greatness, having a lot of laughs and winning a ton.
It certainly didn’t start that way, but he had everything he wanted Saturday night as madness broke out at Soldier Field.
