Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is currently working on mastering the snap count, a key area of improvement that coach Matt Eberflus is closely monitoring during the team's upcoming full-squad practices.
The Bears are entering the 2024 season with several key additions to their roster, including Keenan Allen, D'Andre Swift, Gerald Everett, Kevin Byard, and Rome Odunze. However, the most significant move was the transition from Justin Fields to Caleb Williams. Williams, selected first overall from USC, is now the Bears' new franchise quarterback.
The Bears are currently in mandatory minicamps from June 4-6, which brings the entire team together at the facility. These practices are crucial for rookies, especially quarterback Caleb Williams, as they provide valuable reps and opportunities to learn the system.
«He took a hitch and the ball should have come out,» Eberflus noted (via Courtney Cronin of ESPN). «Then he took two hitches and (the ball) was late over the middle. That's always dangerous when you do that. But that's the learning experience a young quarterback has to go through,» said the Bears coach.
