Chicago Bears fans got quite the glimpse into why Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze were both top-10 picks in this year’s NFL draft on Saturday.

First, Williams hit Odunze down the field with an absolute dot late in the first half, putting the team in scoring position:

Bears have a 10-0 lead after Caleb Williams’ scramble. He felt the pressure but not once moved his eyes down to look at the rush. Kept his eyes down the field the entire time. Impressive.
