Bears QB Caleb Williams remains frontrunner for AP Offensive Rookie of the Year

The Chicago Bears kicked off the NFL preseason on Thursday night when they took on the Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame Game. Unfortunately, Bears fans did not get to see the premier of rookie quarterback Caleb Williams.

Chicago is banking on Williams turning around the franchise. The Bears haven’t had a legitimate franchise signal called in a very long time and they have built a potent offense around him to help him succeed.

Bet MGM currently has Williams as the big favorite to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Here’s how the top five break down.

1 – QB Caleb Williams, Bears: +135

2 – QB Jayden Daniels, Commanders: +600

3 – WR Marvin Harrison Jr., Cardinals: +650

4 – WR Malik Nabers, Giants: +1500

5 – QB Bo Nix, Broncos: +1700

Williams will be throwing to fellow rookie Rome Odunze who the Bears selected with their second first-round pick. In looking back, there hasn’t been a rookie quarterback come into a better situation since the Pittsburgh Steelers selected Ben Roethlisberger in 2004.
