Caleb Williams holds pro day workout in front of prominent Chicago Bears contingent
Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams has gone through his pro day workout, throwing for 25 minutes in front of a large contingent of NFL coaches and executives that included Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The first person Southern California quarterback Caleb Williams greeted when he stepped onto the field for his pro day Wednesday was wide receiver Keenan Allen, newly acquired by the Chicago Bears.
Allen wasn’t the only Bears representative in attendance, with head coach Matt Eberflus and general manager Ryan Poles also looking on.
The Bears have the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s NFL draft and Williams gave them plenty of reasons he could be that selection over the course of a 25-minute session, throwing passes to former Trojans teammates before concluding with a pooch punt.
“We had a bunch of teams here, I think they said all 32,” Williams said. “But to have that investment that they’re possibly gonna make, to have the GM and the head coach here to watch me … To have them here and support me is very cool.”
