Bears WR Keenan Allen had high praise for Caleb Williams

The Chicago Bears finally made a quarterback decision, opting to trade Justin Fields and start over with a rookie in the 2024 NFL draft.

The expectation is Chicago will select USC star and Heisman winner Caleb Williams at No. 1. Whether it’s Williams or another rookie, this is an ideal situation for an incoming young quarterback.

General manager Ryan Poles is building a situation ideal for a rookie to step in and find immediate success. There have been upgrades on what looks to be a top-10 defense, as well as a slew of weapons on offense, including Chicago’s newest receiver Keenan Allen, acquired in a recent trade.

Allen, who’s been in Los Angeles during Williams’ two seasons at USC, has been impressed with what he’s seen from the young quarterback.

“Hell of an athlete,” Allen said of Williams. “Obviously, he can make tremendous plays with his feet, with his arm. Looks like he knows the game really well. Really good.”

Following the Justin Fields trade, the Bears will be drafting a rookie with the No. 1 overall pick. Allen believes his presence will help a rookie as he makes the acclimation to the NFL game.

“I know the game. I know the ins and outs, I know the zones, I know how to beat man, I know pretty much how to play the game,” Allen said. “I just think I’m friendly for the quarterback because I’ll be in the right spots. I know how to communicate with him, and my body language is solid, too.”
