Rookie Caleb Williams voted among 8 Chicago Bears team captains
CHICAGO -- Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams was named a team captain along with seven of his other teammates ahead of the regular season opener.Expectations have never been higher in the Matt Eberflus era of Bears football. A lot has changed both on the roster and coaching staff over the last two seasons, but Eberflus' third team is one that's developed chemistry quickly.'I feel this team is coming together faster just because of the maturity of it,' Eberflus said.
The players voted captain were safety Kevin Byard, linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, linebacker T.J. Edwards, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, tight end Cole Kmet, wide receiver DJ Moore, tight end Marcedes Lewis, and Williams.'I was surprised,' said Johnson. 'I got a text. I didn't even believe it.'Moore said, 'I don't know if it's because I'm popular, or I'm a real leader. I lead by example. I think it's a little of both.
