On the 2024 NFL Draft Recap Show, Ruthie Polinsky is joined by Dave Wannstedt and Josh Schrock to discuss the NFL Draft. They talk about what makes Caleb Williams so different from other Bears quarterbacks
Justin Fields will play in Pittsburgh this season, but the Bears will still have a No. 1 on the field. The team announced on Wednesday that Jaylon Johnson will wear Fields’ old number this year.
Johnson wore No. 1 for two seasons at Utah. But when Johnson entered the league in 2020 DBs weren’t allowed to wear single-digit numbers, so Johnson took 33 instead. That rule changed in 2021, when the league greatly expanded which numbers could be worn by players in each position group.
