Heard it on ESPN radio this morning and seen it here with Waddle and Silvy (ESPN Chicago), Waddle being the former Bear:

Tough spot for Williams if true, but this is what happens sometimes when you throw a guy in there. He gets sacked a bunch, but watch him play and tell me he doesn't hold onto the football way too long. He's also a bit of an odd duck supposedly. There's a video from last Sunday's game that shows him writhing on the ground after a hit and there's not an offensive linemen in sight to help him up. Not sure how much is accurate, but I think there's some fire with this smoke.
If this ends up being another bad QB pick in a few years, Chicago will have had the pick of the litter TWICE (Fields and Williams) and come up empty. Yikes. I also don't think Anthony Richardson is going to be anything and I hate to say that because he's a great young man.
