Expectations are high in Chicago now that the Bears have secured No. 1 draft pick Caleb Williams as their starting quarterback.

The QB out of USC was the heavy betting favorite to be selected first, so it was no surprise that the franchise moved off former QB1 Justin Fields and onto Williams for next season.

To help set Williams up for success, the Bears made numerous offseason moves to improve their entire roster. FOX Sports NFL analyst Bucky Brooks wrote that, "There has never been a No. 1 overall pick step into a better situation than Caleb Williams."

Can Williams capitalize off Chicago's efforts, and should bettors back the Bear's QB in his rookie season?
