Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles pondered the question, knowing his ability to find an answer will help define his legacy: Why haven't the Bears been able to draft and develop a franchise quarterback in the past 85 years?
"It's a good question," Poles said at the annual league meeting in March.
Perhaps the person most interested in the answer is USC quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bears are expected to draft Williams with the No. 1 overall pick on April 25.
The last quarterback the Bears drafted in the first round and developed into an All-Pro was Sid Luckman, who was taken with the second overall pick in 1939, when there were just 10 teams.
