Bears GM Ryan Poles is looking forward to ramping up rookie QB Caleb Williams intake of knowledge and gushed over the natural tools that he had.
“He’s got special instincts, awareness, especially in the pocket to manipulate the pocket, get in and out of the pocket, spatial, a feel for space is special. That’s his special sauce. Then once we kind of speed things up and start to identify different coverages … there’s an adjustment to an NFL offense that he’s got to go through as well. We’re really excited to work with the tools he has,” Poles said, via Bears Wire.
Green Bay added third-round RB MarShawn Lloyd in the draft after replacing RB Aaron Jones with RB Josh Jacobs in free agency. Packers OC Adam Stenavich spoke on how impressed he was with the rookie during their short minicamp.
“I liked his speed. I liked his speed a lot. He had some good runs where you saw his burst. He’s got good vision. I’m really excited about that out of the backfield,” Stenavich said, via Zach Kruse of the Packers Wire.
“I would like to get him out there as much as possible. He’s got a skill set that’s different than A.J. as far as his speed. He’s not quite the bruiser, but he’s got a different skill set. It’ll be nice to get him the ball in space and see what he can do. I think he’ll add a good explosive element to the offense.”
