I know Ben kind of finished things up pretty quickly the first day of minicamp. Was it a full practice? And what did you see out there? What did you see on the field?
Yeah, I mean, some notables from today, maybe the best throw of the day was, guess what, a Caleb Williams extended play in 11-on-11 where there's pressure coming and Devin Bush is bearing down on him and somehow he gets enough space to create a throwing mechanism that puts perfect touch on a ball in the back of the end zone. to Khalif Raymond for a touchdown. It was one of the jaw-dropping moments of the day. Really nice pass by the three offense. Case Keenum to Scotty Miller. A touchdown down the right sideline. Kobe Bryant with an interception off Caleb Williams in practice today and joked after practice that he felt like he absolutely had to get one before the offseason program came to an end.
He did so on a pass intended for John Day Walker. Good break on the ball. Not great ball location, and you've got a takeaway by one of the most important newcomers to this Bears team. So that was good to see. Just kind of going through some of the rest of my notes. During that stretch that ended with the Kobe Bryant interception, Caleb was a little bit erratic with the accuracy, and we talked a lot yesterday about ball location. There's a A check down to Luther Bird and his feet weren't in a great spot. He kind of airmailed it a couple plays later, tries to go deep to Rome. They're kind of disconnected with what each one of them was expecting the other to do. And so you get these signs every day, you know, like you and I are here and we're hammering this point home that like,
Caleb is trying to ascend into becoming one of the elite quarterbacks in the league, and there's going to be stuff every single day to work on, to get better at.
