The Chicago Bears conducted rookie minicamp this weekend, where rookies (and some veterans) hit the practice field for the first time at Halas Hall.
Quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze were the main attractions during the weekend, and their early chemistry shined during Friday’s practice. Unfortunately, Odunze was held out of Saturday’s practice due to hamstring tightness. But it’s clear Chicago’s top-10 selections are quickly building a rapport.
In addition to the Bears’ five draft picks and nine undrafted free agent signings, there were a handful of players there on a tryout basis. And it sounds like some of them made a strong impression.
