Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles provides an honest assessment of QB Caleb Williams’ development heading into Year 2.

NFL fans are destroying Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams after a video surfaced of his struggles (and angry reaction) during practice. The No. 1 pick of the 2024 NFL Draft had a superb rookie year on a lousy Bears team, completing 62.5 percent of pass attempts for 3,541 yards, 20 touchdowns and only six interceptions.

When he takes the field Sunday against the Bills for his first preseason action of the year, Williams won’t be significantly closer to being the Bears' long-promised franchise quarterback than he was a year ago.
