BREAKING: Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles Shares Update on QB Caleb Williams and WR Luther Burden
In a major development from Halas Hall, Chicago Bears General Manager Ryan Poles has shared important updates regarding rookie quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Luther Burden. With training camp now in full swing, all eyes are on the team’s two dynamic young stars, and Poles offered some insight that has fans buzzing with optimism.
Poles confirmed that Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, is progressing ahead of expectations. “Caleb’s grasp of the playbook, leadership in the locker room, and command at the line of scrimmage have been outstanding,” Poles stated. “He’s everything we hoped for and more.” The GM added that Williams will take all first-team reps moving forward, cementing his role as the team’s starter for Week 1.
On the receiving end, Poles also addressed the development of Luther Burden III, the Bears’ second first-round pick and dynamic pass-catcher out of Missouri. “Luther is electric. His ability to separate, his hands, and his work ethic have really stood out,” Poles said. The team sees Burden as a perfect complement to D.J. Moore and Keenan Allen, giving the Bears a much more dangerous aerial attack.
If early camp signs are any indication, the Bears may finally have the foundation for a truly explosive offense — something fans have long waited for.
