The news has sparked speculation that the Bears might be considering drafting USC quarterback Caleb Williams, whom Kingsbury coached last season, as a potential top pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.

Which in some way indicates Bears are drafting Williams

I like the idea of interviewing Kingsbury because it gives you another perspective on Caleb, and helps you scout him.

Kliff isn't my preferred guy, I don't really like him as much as the others do, but interviewing him is very smart, and indicative of drafting Caleb. #Bears

Kingsbury is a wizard as a coordinator, some aren’t meant to be a coach and that’s OK. Caleb and Kliff will have Chicago bumping! Come on! https://t.co/0t0iRZZ6PH
