The Chicago Bears made several impressive picks during the NFL Draft.

Selecting Caleb Williams as the No. 1 overall pick was a straightforward decision, and they followed up by acquiring Rome Udonze just eight selections later.

However, their fourth-round choice raised some eyebrows: they opted for Iowa's Tory Taylor.

While Taylor, celebrated for his remarkable stint with the Hawkeyes, was expected to be the first punter drafted, a fourth-round pick for a punter might seem excessive to some.


Moreover, it appears that Taylor might not see much action on the field, at least according to Williams' expectations.

NFL reporter Dov Kleiman revealed that Williams, a promising quarterback from USC, jokingly informed Taylor that he shouldn't expect to punt too frequently in the near future.

The Bears' management has clearly invested in Williams, providing him with ample offensive tools, though their offensive line remains a concern. Despite some enhancements, such as adding Yale's Kiran Amegadjie, the line's effectiveness is yet to be proven, especially with a rookie quarterback.

But Williams' confidence is high, and if he lives up to the hype immediately, his playful forecast may well become a reality.

With the anticipation building, Matt Eberflus and his team are eager to usher in this new chapter in Chicago. The upcoming season can't start soon enough for the Windy City enthusiasts.
