The Chicago Bears are about to get a whole lot more attention, and it’s not just because of their revamped roster. HBO’s cameras will be rolling into Bears training camp, capturing the highs and lows of their 2024 season on the popular documentary series ‘Hard Knocks.’ And at the center of it all will be quarterback Caleb Williams, the first overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Bears training camp is about to get a whole lot more intense

As the Bears look to build on their 7-10 record from last season, Williams will be under the microscope. The Heisman Trophy winner has already shown his calm and confident demeanor throughout the draft process, but now it’s time to put his skills to the test.

General manager Ryan Poles has given Williams plenty of talent to work with, drafting receiver Rome Odunze at No. 9 overall and bringing in veteran Keenan Allen to join D.J. Moore. At tight end, Cole Kmet remains, and D’Andre Swift is the newest running back. On defense, Poles was proactive in keeping key players in place, including top cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who earned himself a lucrative contract extension.

With an improved roster, Poles made the decision to trade quarterback Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers, clearing the way for Williams to take the reins. And now, with ‘Hard Knocks’ cameras rolling, the entire football world will get to see Williams’ first taste of the NFL up close.
