Heading into the new season, there were a lot of concerns about Caleb Williams’ potential for the Chicago Bears. After a few preseason games, the quarterback is now being compared to Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, a development he has now responded to.
In the Bears’ second preseason game, all eyes were on Williams, as he faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals. The highly anticipated matchup gave fans a glimpse into the future of the Bears’ offense, and the young quarterback certainly didn’t disappoint.
Williams, who was selected as the Bears’ top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, showcased his impressive skill set, completing 14 of his 21 pass attempts for a total of 175 yards and a touchdown. His decision-making and ball placement were particularly noteworthy, as he demonstrated the poise and composure of a seasoned veteran.
In addition to his passing prowess, Williams also made an impact with his legs, rushing for 35 yards and proving his versatility as a dual-threat quarterback. This dynamic playmaking ability is sure to be a valuable asset as he continues to develop and integrate into the Bears’ offense.
Despite the Bears’ eventual loss to the Bengals, the performance of their rookie quarterback was a bright spot that has fans and analysts alike excited for the team’s future. With Williams leading the charge, the Bears’ offense has the potential to become a force to be reckoned with in the upcoming season.
Chicago Bears Quarterback Caleb Williams Responds to Patrick Mahomes Comparisons
Williams is now turning heads for the Bears after a couple of preseason games, including comparisons to Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes. In a video shared by Dov Kleiman on X, the Chicago quarterback responded to people comparing him to the Chiefs superstar.
Mahomes has established himself as one of the NFL’s elite players in just seven seasons. With impressive statistics, including over 28,000 passing yards and 219 touchdowns, along with numerous accolades such as six Pro Bowl selections, two MVP awards, and three Super Bowl championships, he has solidified his place among the league’s all-time greats.
As the preseason progresses, all eyes will be on Williams and the Bears, as they look to build on this impressive showing and lay the foundation for a successful 2023 campaign. Hopefully, the Bears quarterback gets the chance to emulate what Mahomes has done in the league.
