The Chicago Bears were back at Halas Hall today for day two of a four-day OTA. Besides the action on the field that the media was allowed to report on, quarterback Caleb Williams spoke for the first time since ESPN’s Seth Wickersham shared some details about his upcoming book.
Caleb addressed the drama head-on, and much of his presser was spent on the snippets from the book. He said he did have a good meeting with the Minnesota Vikings, which intrigued him, but that his meeting with the Bears was good as well, and he quickly bought into the notion of being a Bear.
“I wanted to come here and be the guy, and be a part of the reason why the Chicago Bears turned this thing around,” he said at the press conference.
Nothing Williams said to Wickersham bothered me, and while I’m glad he talked about it today, it wasn’t because I needed to hear him; it was because I want the media dwelling on it to move on.

Here are a few Tweets, videos, and nuggets I pulled from the beat writers who were at Halas Hall today.

While Caleb Williams’ response to the excerpts from Seth Wickersham’s book were the focus today at Halas Hall, here are a few things I saw/heard from OTAs that caught my attention:
