Following the trade of quarterback Justin Fields, the Bears dispatched a significant delegation to Los Angeles to witness their anticipated future quarterback execute a meticulously planned 50-throw script. General manager Ryan Poles, head coach Matt Eberflus, and offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, among others, arrived early to engage with Williams and his circle, further solidifying the budding relationship.
While Wednesday's showcase was technically an evaluation, it served more as a public declaration of the Bears' intentions. Interactions with Williams' family, USC's head coach Lincoln Riley, and even the attendance of newly acquired wide receiver Keenan Allen underscored the impending selection.
Williams, while maintaining a facade of uncertainty, hinted at the inevitable. Despite deflecting direct questions about his future with the Bears, a slip-up regarding Allen's presence hinted at the imminent union.
With a final visit scheduled for Williams at Halas Hall, pending medical checks, the Bears are poised to seal the deal. The lackluster display at the Pro Day mattered little; the focus was on nurturing the rapport between team and player, ensuring alignment for the franchise's future goals.
Williams' comments post-workout and his desire to join a team committed to success only reinforced the mutual interest between player and organization. Following three days of interaction in Los Angeles, any lingering doubts seem to have dissipated.
No theatrics, no alarms�just a seamless progression toward a partnership destined to materialize. As Williams shared hugs with team officials and teammates, the narrative of his imminent role as a Bear felt inevitable. All that remains is for the Bears to make it official, heralding the dawn of a promising era.
