The Chicago Bears are ushering in a new era under quarterback Caleb Williams, who was selected first overall in the 2024 NFL draft. Williams comes to Chicago as one of the most hyped QB prospects since Andrew Luck. Now, the hope is he can help elevate this team to the point of contending for a championship.

The good news for Williams is he also happens to be entering arguably the best situation for a No. 1 pick quarterback in NFL history. Not only does he have an arsenal of weapons at his disposal (DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, Cole Kmet, D’Andre Swift), but he also has a potential top-10 defense looking to build off their impressive end to the 2023 season.

Outside of Williams, the Bears’ quarterback room is lacking a proven veteran backup. Tyson Bagent, an undrafted rookie last year, proved to be a solid backup for Justin Fields last year. The team opted to sign veteran Brett Rypien this offseason and they also have another undrafted rookie in Austin Reed on the roster.

ESPN’s Mike Clayhas released his 2024 projections, including ranking every quarterback room in the NFL. Where does Chicago’s QB room, led by rookie Caleb Williams, rank among the rest of the league? Here’s a look:
