Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams already demonstrated his hunger to learn at rookie minicamp.
Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze work out during rookie minicamp on May 10, 2024, at Halas Hall in Lake Forest. After the Chicago Bears wrapped up their second practice of rookie minicamp Saturday at Halas Hall, assistant coaches met with reporters to talk about their position groups.
“When you have a guy like that, he’s hungry for it, and you love to know that — because now he becomes a coach on the field for you. Once he gets it and learns this whole system, he’ll become a coach on the field.” “I think he can learn from both of them because his skill set is a little bit in between them, and it gives him a chance to be able to learn from two of the best in the business.”
“As a coach, I stepped into a room with Keenan Allen like, ‘Hey, there’s some pressure on me to make sure I’m making him better, that he doesn’t just dismiss me because he knows it already. I’ve got to bring value to him.’ It’s the same thing. If I’m Rome, I step into the room and I look at one side and it’s DJ Moore and the other side it’s Keenan Allen, there’s some pressure to that too. Because I better step in and know that I better live up to these guys’ expectations. Which he will.
“He’s one of those guys that everyone can lean on because there’s not a look out there that he hasn’t seen, and he’s one of the smartest guys I’ve been around,” Beatty said. “He’s a great coach off the field. He can reiterate things because he knows how I think, and I know how he thinks, so he knows how to say it the way I would like for it to be said to the younger guys.
“We went through this process in the draft trying to find the smarter guys and talking to them. And all of these guys are really smart, but he’s super smart,” Beatty said. “He’s able to pick things up. And I think he’s got a grasp of a pro set that you get from being in a college offense that has some pro principles in it, so I think that gave him a leg up. But he’s one of those guys that picks things up very quickly.
