Frequently Asked Questions
Who did Caleb Williams pick for his Bears Mount Rushmore?
Caleb Williams chose Matt Forte, Jim McMahon, Devin Hester, and Brian Urlacher as his four Bears Mount Rushmore picks. The selections drew criticism for leaning too heavily toward the modern era of Bears football.
Why is Walter Payton not on Caleb Williams' Bears Mount Rushmore?
Williams left Payton off his list entirely, which is hard to defend since Payton is considered both the greatest running back in Bears history and arguably the best player in franchise history overall. Payton's omission is one of the biggest reasons Williams' list took heat.
What Bears legends should have been considered for a proper Mount Rushmore?
Beyond Walter Payton, names like George Halas, Dick Butkus, Mike Ditka, Sid Luckman, Gale Sayers, and Doug Atkins all have strong cases and should be in the conversation. The Bears have over a century of history, making the list of legitimate candidates truly massive.
Has Caleb Williams already set any franchise records with the Chicago Bears?
Yes, Williams already holds multiple franchise records in his short time with the Bears. He also has a playoff win over the Green Bay Packers on his resume, which is a big deal for Bears fans.
How has Caleb Williams embraced Chicago since joining the Bears?
Williams has gone all-in on the city by frequenting local Chicago restaurants, interacting with fans whenever he can, and immersing himself in the organization's culture. By most accounts it has been a big success, even if his Bears history knowledge still needs some work.
