“He’s Already the Face of This Team” — Bears Coach Drops Stunning Praise for Rookie QB Caleb Williams

Chicago, IL — The buzz around Caleb Williams just hit a whole new level.

At the end of a steamy Tuesday training camp practice, Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus sent shockwaves through the media with a single, bold declaration:

“He’s already the face of this team.”

That “he”? None other than rookie quarterback Caleb Williams — the No. 1 overall pick who hasn’t even played a regular season snap yet. But if you ask Eberflus, that doesn’t matter.

“From the huddle to the locker room, he’s commanding respect like a 10-year vet,” Eberflus told reporters. “It’s not just the arm talent. It’s how he carries himself, how the guys rally around him. This is his team now — and he knows it.”

Williams has dazzled in camp with laser-accurate deep balls, no-look throws that remind fans of Mahomes, and a calm demeanor under pressure. Even veterans like DJ Moore and Keenan Allen have praised his poise and leadership.

Insiders say he’s already taken over the offense with a rare blend of charisma and control.
And with Ben Johnson’s creative schemes clicking, the Bears may finally have their franchise cornerstone.

Whether or not the hype holds into the regular season, one thing’s clear — Chicago is no longer just “rebuilding.” With Caleb Williams, they’re rebranding.
