In the clip shared by ESPN, we see the quarterback wearing the No.54 Bears jersey as his pregame outfit. Urlacher wore this number during his 13-year stint with the team.

Caleb Williams' gesture came after there was a media frenzy about Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy being a big fan of the Bears, with a photo of him as a kid wearing Urlacher's jersey.

Williams is starting his second year with the Bears under new head coach Ben Johnson. Last year, during his rookie debut, he recorded 3,541 yards and 20 TDs passing while leading the team to a disappointing 5-12 record. This led to Matt Eberflus being fired after three seasons with no playoff appearances.

However, under an offensive guru like Johnson, fans expect Caleb Williams to showcase his true potential on the field. But according to NFL insider Tyler Dunne, the quarterback's struggles last season were because of him allegedly having a 'learning disability.'

In his three-part report titled 'House on Dysfunction', he discussed how the playbook was simplified so that Williams could understand the plays and not struggle with the verbiage. Dunne also claimed that Bears GM Ryan Poles was aware of this situation before they acquired him with the first overall pick.

He also opened up about what made the quarterback special.

"Just playing with a little more discipline and structure within the system to distribute to the playmakers that we have on the perimeter," Johnson said. "But at the same time, what has made him a special player over the course of his career in college and in the pros so far has been that ability to create."

"We're not gonna ask him to be Superman all the time, but when those times present, that's where he needs to come through for us."

Can Williams help the Bears qualify for the playoffs this year?
