On the first day of their padded practice, the Chicago Bears offense started slowly on Friday. Then rookie Caleb Williams responded with a dot to second-year wide receiver Tyler Scott for a touchdown against the defense during a two-minute drill.
The Chicago Bears have a dangerous connection brewing
The Williams-to-Scott connection has been noticeable at the start of the training camp. The Bears drafted Scott with the hope the speedy receiver could be a deep threat for the offense. Scott was underutilized last year in the Justin Fields/Luke Getsy offense. He’s been targeted numerous times in the Shane Waldon/Williams offense.
Caleb Williams was off to a slow start on Friday
Per Gregg Braggs with CHGO Bears, Williams and the offense were off to a poor start on Friday morning. Problems that surfaced during spring OTAs were seen during the first few series of the 11-on-11 drill. Williams couldn’t get the cadence right. The Bears offense was called for numerous penalties. Williams had several inaccurate passes.
Williams threw a dot to Tyler Scott
Williams did have one great play during the two-minute drill. He scrambled to his right and threw a deep ball to Scott for a touchdown to win the drill. Per Chicago Football Connection:

The offense has had difficulty winning in the two-minute drill for most of training camp. It’s a good sign that the Bears offense is starting to make positive plays like this during the team period. Hopefully, Williams will gain confidence after the completion.
