Matt Eberflus’ One-on-One Pitch To Caleb Williams Sold QB On The Bears

The Chicago Bears held the #1 pick in the 2024 draft. That gave them the authority to take any player in the draft they wished, regardless of position or whether they wanted to come here or not. That last part might not be something that fans think about often, but they should. Cedric Benson didn’t want to go to Chicago when they took him in 2005. He literally cried because they picked him while he walked to the stage. In hindsight, his disastrous tenure should’ve been easy to predict. Matt Eberflus isn’t dumb.
