LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Two weeks ago at the NFL scouting combine, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles stressed the importance of having the right "infrastructure" in place to guide the development of a young quarterback.

Poles said he believes the Bears have made progress in creating an environment for success should the team use the No. 1 overall pick on USC quarterback Caleb Williams in next month's draft.

Much of that belief is rooted in the culture established two years into their rebuild. And even the most vocal supporters of incumbent quarterback Justin Fields, such as cornerback Jaylon Johnson, are prepared to handle changes at the position.
