Caleb Williams, the quarterback for the Chicago Bears, is now honing his snap count technique. Head coach Matt Eberflus is hoping to see progress in this area during the team’s next full-squad workouts.
The Bears have added Keenan Allen, D’Andre Swift, Gerald Everett, Kevin Byard, and Rome Odunze to their roster before the 2024 season begins. But the biggest change was when Caleb Williams took over for Justin Fields. Williams, a first-round pick out of USC, is now the new franchise quarterback for the Bears.
The Bears are now assembling as a squad in the facility for their required minicamps, which run from June 4–6. For rookie quarterback Caleb Williams in particular, these workouts are essential because they give him significant reps and system learning opportunities.
Eberflus shared his observations with reporters after practice, focusing on an interception thrown by Williams.
He took a hitch and the ball should have come out,” Eberflus noted (via Courtney Cronin of ESPN).
“Then he took two hitches and (the ball) was late over the middle. That’s always dangerous when you do that. But that’s the learning experience in the process a young quarterback has to go through,” said the Bears tactician.
On Wednesday, Williams repeated a similar mistake, resulting in another turnover during a 7-on-7 drill with a pass over the middle
