Caleb Williams’ rookie year with the Chicago Bears was filled with both anticipation and adversity. After the team moved on from Justin Fields and selected Williams with the No. 1 overall pick, the pressure to turn around a franchise with a rocky history at quarterback intensified.

Former Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus denies claims about Caleb Williams made in the upcoming Seth Wickersham book.

Contrary to Caleb Williams ’ claims in a new book, the Bears quarterback had daily film sessions with coaches, former head coach Matt Eberflus said. Eberflus, who is in his first year as the Cowboys’ defensive coordinator, told “The Doomsday Podcast” with Ed Werder and Matt Mosley that Williams wasn’t left to his own devices in the film room.
