Caleb Williams, the Chicago Bears' first overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has generated considerable buzz during training camp, showcasing his leadership and skills, despite some rookie mistakes. However, the Bears' decision to withhold him from the Hall of Fame preseason game against the Browns has sparked backlash among fans, who feel he should gain actual game experience. While Williams is adapting well to the Bears' offense, critics argue that treating him like a seasoned veteran is premature. Meanwhile, the Houston Texans are revamping their backfield with new signings like Joe Mixon and Cam Akers, leading to speculation about the future of returning players like Dameon Pierce, who may face competition for a roster spot. The Bears are hopeful Williams can become the franchise's new cornerstone as they move on from Justin Fields. Overall, both teams are undergoing significant changes as they prepare for the upcoming season.
