LAKE FOREST, IL (AP) - Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams emerged from his first exposure to veteran NFL players at organized team activities and minicamp with a greater appreciation for what he's up against.
Williams, the first pick in the NFL draft, found he has plenty to learn, and the defense he'll face every day in training camp will be a formidable one with designs on being a top-five unit.
"I didn't come in necessarily with the expectation to be and seem like a 13-year vet," Williams said Thursday after a three-day mandatory minicamp ended. "I came in to work, to work my tail off, show the guys that I'm here, I'm working my tail off, I'm progressing and trying not to make the same mistake again.
"That's the biggest thing, day in and day out, is trying not to make the same mistake over and over and learn from them. That's been my biggest thing for me."
