Veteran quarterback Case Keenum had high praise for Chicago Bears rookie Caleb Williams, emphasizing the young quarterback’s maturity and leadership qualities. Keenum, who joined the Bears on a one-year deal, brings 66 career starts to the team and is expected to serve as a mentor to Williams and backup Tyson Bagent.
Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has quickly impressed teammates and coaches with his focus, poise, and attention to detail. His approach to the game has already drawn comparisons to elite quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert.
As Chicago looks to turn the page on years of quarterback struggles, the combination of Keenum’s veteran experience and Williams’ natural leadership could mark the beginning of a new era for the Bears.
