It turns out the communication between Williams and Moore didn\u2019t stop at that dinner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI met his family,\u201d Williams said about Moore. \u201cObviously hung out with him throughout the dinner. I learned he\u2019s a great guy. I learned that he\u2019s ready to go. Since my top 30 visit we probably talked every week, just reaching out to each other, connecting \u2014 because that\u2019s a big connection for me, obviously, getting the ball to 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>New Bears QB Caleb Williams Already Being Proactive in Working With WRs DJ Moore, Keenan Allen<\/h2>\n<div id=\"79ff071a0c39a1fbb6a1e5c2b88dbd6a\">\n<article>I asked new\u00a0#Bears\u00a0QB Caleb Williams about WR DJ Moore. He says that the two have talked every week since his top 30 visit.\u00a0#Bears<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>Williams, 22, is already taking ownership of the Bears\u2019 offense, and that\u2019s an encouraging sign for Chicago. In addition to communicating regularly with Moore, the rookie QB also had a\u00a0throwing session\u00a0with Moore, Bears wideout\u00a0Keenan Allen\u00a0and\u00a0Rome Odunze, the latter of whom Chicago selected at No. 9 overall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great workout, just four of us getting better, working on our craft,\u201d\u00a0Odunze said after getting drafted by the Bears. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what it was. I see that Keenan\u2019s smooth. I see how explosive DJ is. And I see that Caleb can sling the ball wherever he chooses. I\u2019m super excited to work with that group now, officially, and I think we can do special things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found out maybe two days ago that that popped up,\u201d\u00a0Bears GM Ryan Poles said about the workout. \u201cI thought it was pretty cool. \u2026 Now, that group\u2019s worked together, which is good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition to a trio of talented wideouts in Moore, Allen and Odunze, Williams has been given quite the array of talents to work with on offense, including tight ends\u00a0Cole Kmet\u00a0and\u00a0Gerald Everett, along with speedy running back\u00a0D\u2019Andre Swift.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>All Signs Pointing Up for Chicago Bears in 2024<\/h2>\n<div id=\"b579058cc526e4c6dfad8da99eb8c0aa\">\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>Chicago Bears offense in 2024:<\/p>\n<p>Caleb Williams<\/p>\n<p>DJ Moore<br \/>\nKeenan Allen<br \/>\nRome Odunze<\/p>\n<p>Cole Kmet<br \/>\nGerald Everett<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Andre Swift<br \/>\nKhalil Herbert<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to a re-vamped offense, the Bears also bring back the same defense that\u00a0led the league in interceptions\u00a0last year (22) and finished\u00a0first against the run\u00a0(86.4 yards per game). Chicago could still use another pass rusher and a dominant defensive tackle, but there\u2019s a strong balance of talent on both sides of the ball for the first time in years. That should help Williams adjust to the league in a bug way.<\/p>\n<p>The new Bears QB says he wanted to join the team when he saw how much Poles and company wanted to get the franchise back to its winning ways. The Bears finished 3-14 in 2022 and showed solid improvements in 2023, finishing with an 8-9 mark. They look to do even better this year, with a shot at the playoffs a realistic goal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big reason is I believe the culture that\u2019s been building,\u201d Williams said after the draft. \u201cI would say the culture, the coaches, and that\u2019s where it stems from. Then I\u2019d also say the love and support that the fans have been giving. They\u2019re ready, they\u2019re hungry, they\u2019re all excited and so are we.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Wideout DJ Moore of the Chicago Bears.
