Last Thursday marked the official commencement of the Caleb Williams era in Chicago, as the Bears welcomed their No. 1 pick on board. However, well before the draft, Williams was already laying the groundwork for his transition, focusing on forging connections with his future receiving corps.

In anticipation of the 2024 NFL draft, Williams organized an exclusive workout session in Los Angeles, bringing together Bears wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen. Joining them was Rome Odunze, the promising rookie who was still uncertain about his NFL destination at that time. Moore recently spoke to NFL Notifications to voice his perspective on the sensational new quarterback draft.

DJ Moore shares his perspective on Caleb Williams 

Moore, who had previously backed Justin Fields as QB1 for this season, offered his initial impressions of Williams following their throwing session. It appears that they are diligently working on developing their chemistry. Moore remarked, “There’s definitely a sense of anticipation.” He feels that this underscores the importance of aligning with him as they move forward, “ it’s just going to take some time, maybe it’s going to be fast or might take some time. But I’m hoping it is fast.” 

Shortly after being chosen as the top overall pick by Chicago, Williams wasted no time reuniting with Moore in Los Angeles, where they resumed their throwing sessions to establish early chemistry ahead of OTAs. With his rookie season on the horizon, expectations are soaring for Williams. Surrounded by a talented roster, including Moore, Allen, Odunze, D’Andre Swift, and Cole Kmet, coupled with improvements to the offensive line and the potential for a top-tier defense, Williams has all the tools for a successful start to his NFL career.

How does the Bears’ depth chart look post-Caleb Williams’ inclusion?

With only five picks in the NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears’ roster impact might not be as pronounced. However, they managed to secure key positions, including quarterback, receiver, offensive line, punter, and defensive end. General manager Ryan Poles understood the limitations but recognized the team’s relative depth compared to previous years. The addition of Caleb Williams as the starting quarterback signals a promising future for the Bears, with Williams set to focus on playbook mastery and team chemistry in the coming months. 

D’Andre Swift headlines the running backs, joined by Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson, providing depth and versatility to the backfield. In the receiving corps, D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen bring experience and talent, while Rome Odunze adds youthful potential. Cole Kmet leads the tight end group, supported by Gerald Everett and Stephen Carlson. Although the roster may undergo changes leading up to the season, this early projection highlights the Bears’ potential for the upcoming campaign, signaling exciting prospects for Chicago football.
