Chicago Bears insider Tyler Dunne has suggested that Caleb Williams may have a learning disability ahead of the quarterback\u2019s second season in the NFL.<\/p>\n
Williams was the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, with the Bears\u2019 selection coming as no surprise after his forays in college, which included a Heisman Trophy haul. <\/p>\n
Still, his acquisition didn\u2019t do much to improve the team\u2019s fortunes. In fact, they got worse, going from 7-10 the previous season to 5-12 in his rookie campaign. <\/p>\n
Dunne, who joined the \u2018CHGO Bears Podcast\u2019 this week, has implied that the quarterback is facing some unique struggles as he may have a learning disability. <\/p>\n
\u201cWithout giving too much away, there were some major red flags that came up through the pre-draft process that, frankly, just were not discussed at all in draft meetings,\u201d Dunne said. \u201cWhether it is a potential learning disability that the coaches got into, that scouts got into, that they could see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams, who went viral for a bizarre moment he had in practice<\/a> during the offseason, is also the subject of a column<\/a> by the journalist titled \u2018House of Dysfunction, Part I: The Curious Case of Caleb Williams\u2019 in which he claims the QB\u2019s coaches from last season opened up on \u201ca season from hell.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWilliams struggled to execute elementary tasks. Every day was a new disaster,\u201d he pens in the piece, noting that the Bears changed the snap count to appease the player, going from a combination of numbers and colors to \u201cReady, set, go!\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cVeterans couldn\u2019t believe it. \u201cAre you s**tting me?\u201d one receiver asked a coach,\u201d Dunne writes. <\/p>\n The piece also claims that Williams would stare at his wristband for \u201ca painful length of time\u201d when a new play call was sent in.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliams verbalized the call in the huddle, it was wrong half the time, and then players would be lined up wrong all over the field. Verbiage was truncated. Huddling was minimized. The playbook, dumbed down. The Bears offense devolved into an exercise of trial and error to fit whatever the USC rookie demanded.\u201d<\/p>\n Williams raised eyebrows yet again, ahead of the Bears\u2019 opener against the Minnesota Vikings, after he was seen cuddling with someone else<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n It will be interesting to see how he does in Year 2.<\/p>\n The post Chicago Bears Insider Drops Bombshell: Caleb Williams May Have Learning Disability \u2013 Major Red Flags Exposed Before 2024 NFL Draft [VIDEO]<\/a> originally published on Total Pro Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Caleb Williams (Photo via Imagn Images) Chicago Bears insider Tyler Dunne has suggested that Caleb Williams may have…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":347090,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[787,62528,7,4247,9666,6,15,54402],"class_list":{"0":"post-347089","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-chicago-bears-insider-drops-bombshell-caleb-williams-may-have-learning-disability-major-red-flags-exposed-before-2024-nfl-draft-video","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-local-news","12":"tag-newsbreak","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-nfl-draft","15":"tag-total-pro-sports"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347089","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=347089"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/347089\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/347090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=347089"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=347089"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=347089"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
