Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams seems to be drawing from Patrick Mahomes’ playbook, at least behind-the-scenes.
Video emerged on Thursday showing Williams in practice one day earlier working on behind-the-back throws. Williams was doing so less than a week after the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback actually pulled off the move during a live preseason game.

Williams might just be having some fun here. After all, Mahomes did this in practice for several years before we ever saw it in a game, and it was only a preseason game at that. The rookie is probably more focused on perfecting moves he’ll use during a game, and he has demonstrated that he has a lot that he can lean on.
Williams, the first overall pick in April’s draft, has already won Chicago’s starting quarterback job for 2024.
