Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has never been one to lack confidence. Let's face it, to have as much success as he's had, you have to have a very strong belief in yourself. That confidence has transferred nicely to the NFL for the first overall pick, who said Monday that he's feeling good about his progression after the first week or so of practices.

“I’m on track to be ready,” Williams said. “Exactly where I need to be and where they want me to be.”

Where the Chicago Bears want Williams to be is the starter in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans. Ready or not, he will be QB1, so it's good news that he's feeling good about his progress.

“I’m progressing, excited and ready to go,” Williams said.

Bears fans are excited, too.
