On the latest Under Center Podcast, Kenneth Davis and Josh Schrock break down Caleb Williams' growth during Bears mandatory minicamp, with one skill, in particular, standing out to media and Bears veterans (1:30). Ken and Josh later discuss how Caleb and the wide receiver trio of DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze are developing their chemistry (6:00) and how the Bears' infrastructure is helping Williams develop (12:00).

This is a GREAT episode !!!!!!!!! Good vibes

[@javelldunn3379]

The best episode ever keep up the good work guys

[@spacetimepotato]

Sounds like the kind of support Justin Fields could have used, but I'm happy for Caleb that it's happening for him.

[@MarcoLiftz]

😂😂😂 bro please get over it poles didn’t draft Bustin

[@MarcoLiftz]

“You can win with fields but Caleb can be the reason you win” - poles

[@iUns33n]

Yall still talking about that blind clipboard holder?

[@cosmickeys5766]

Most common false narrative is Fields didn't come into the league with any team. It was his SECOND year when it was stripped down. First year he had Allen Robinson II, good version of Mooney, Kmet, Monty, Khalil Mack & Robert Quinn's best season.

[@IAmAbundunt]

So the smaller, slower, weaker arm QB is an upgrade? He’s going to have to show me…. I’m getting Bryce Young vibes 🤔

[@damiritucker9171]

This was great content!! As much juice as you can squeeze from this time of year. A lot of interesting insight and perspective as opposed to just quoting what the players and coaches had to say this week which is what many publications seem to do. Love it! I hope everyone is ready for something special this year.

[@antoncrutcher5447]

Josh is the best reporter NBC has. #PAYTHEMAN

[@isaacstotts6099]

I just hope were a Decent team with more wins than loses even if thats 9-8

[@tyreepowell8367]

Caleb Williams Is Our Only Hope For The Bears 🐻🧡💙

[@the_book_of_ezra]

Keep up the great work gentlemen!!

[@chuckgrant5395]

Excellent-congratulations to both of you

[@alexamerling79]

Caleb is finally going to get us out of quarterback hell!

[@smittyque2567]

Kenneth grinning like a Cheshire cat the whole episode. I'm with you big dog.

[@ttaylor758]

We heard for 3 years how good Fields was going to be. This is like watching a rerun

[@xFatal4]

Lmao. No we didn’t. We heard Justin needs to take the next step. Go back to Pittsburgh bro

[@williammcrann282]

Finding the right Edge rusher will probably be solved in next years draft. still would line to train a 3 tech every year just like the o-line in the same manner.

[@JustAnotherYearChicago]

This was great! Would love to do a collaboration together soon. BEAR DOWN!

[@onlineadvertisingnet]

Great insights. 🐻⬇️

[@MarcoLiftz]

I’m excited for Rochon Johnson’s future man he puts his head down and trucks tf outta defenders. I do agree he needs more time to develop but I love his old hard style of running 🏃‍♂️

[@gurujr]

CW sounds like a top fifteen qb right now and improving fast.

[@jeromesims410]

I dnt recall Edwards saying Caleb hit a 20 yrd seem route after moving he and Maine.

[@antoncrutcher5447]

Well of course Tevin wants to stay in Chicago he is from Kansas lol he’s a great player and I think he will take a huge jump this season.

[@MarcoLiftz]

He’s gotta stay healthy man that’s the thing

[@igot5onit214]

He's "The People's Champ "

[@antoncrutcher5447]

Justin Jones lol

[@woodstocknation1961]

How many summers and fall camps have i heard this positive narrative only to face reality when the good teams show up on the schedule

[@JefroBodine]

Sounds just like last year. 😆

[@MarcoLiftz]

I think we may have finally got it right this time.

[@zenniesimmons1691]

Bears trying to get there shit together

[@michaelsink6733]

#18 is our electrifying airial assault firer. The Bear’s have Weaponize the offense. Bear’s beat Packers three times and take the NFC Championship. Sanborn scoops and scores. Bear’s topple Texans win Super Bowl at 20/1.

[@adammajkowski4473]

You guys are looking better but the lions will be taking the nfc this year. You guys will be lucky to beat the packers. At least Minnesota will be floundering.

[@ttaylor758]

The Packers will go further than any other North team

[@MrFac183]

Can Caleb play under center?

[@keevinantoine5284]

Shid from the outside looking in I don’t think he can read defenses right now and alot of the reporters know it but maybe he’ll get it 2gether

[@grindn10101]

I think if u go watch Chris Simms QB ranking then you'd know You're just mistaken. He ranked CJ stroud #1 by a mile last year an said CW is miles ahead of him at that stage

[@magmaapricots]

@@grindn10101 Yep. Simms has been very wrong about QBs. But he nailed Mahomes, Stroud and his assessment on Calebs game was at least spot on as someone who watched a lot of Caleb.

[@Mandy_39]

Well you have no idea what you're talking about....

[@keevinantoine5284]

@@Mandy_39 🤣🤣 yea ok 👌🏿but yall hearing and seeing the same struggles as everybody else

[@Philtration]

In the real world he was holding the ball too long, throwing picks in the 7 on 7 and 11 on 11 drills, and some his his throws to WRs just running routes with no Defender were not that great. "Oh... Rome Odunze was not on the field for that pick" Excuses. BearsWire claimed he was "Dropping dimes" while the video showed that was not the case at all. You already hyped him into being drafted # 1 overall so no more gushing needed. Stick to the facts.

[@sbcburgos2300]

Kenneth, those gray hairs are creeping up pretty fast on you

[@mrredbull1387]

Caleb gone ball out and all those haters about weep what they sow

[@abideasthat]

More Justin jock riding. These guys can’t help themselves.

[@SaholG]

What about using Roschon Johnson's throwing arm in the trick play bag ?

[@VictoriaColmenares-rv5dq]

Bears have an undersized , pass rush specialist who can’t set the edge under control and really really cheap . Why would they sign the same player at 30 years old fresh off an injury whose snaps would be the exact same 3 rd round snaps ? Makes 0 sense .

[@user-ix9mr1qr3t]

soooooooooooooooooooooo caleb will be benched during game 4. Bagent will shine. Then what?

[@kathykorbel1101]

A member of the Bagent fan club. 😂😂😂😂 You obviously like noodle armed quarterbacks. 😂😂😂

[@user-ix9mr1qr3t]

caleb is not learning a damn thing. PLAY BAGENT!

[@tk2fly3d]

Go to sleep!!

[@Mad-genius]

An the delusional Bear fans who hyped this guy up (along with ESPN and the Rich Eisen SIMPS I might add) to be a once in a life time, prime Tom Brady 2.0. Lol the fall will be spectacular come the end of the season as the excuses fly.

[@adrianf7732]

You sound scared
