Since they heard their names called in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/nfl/draft/2024/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/caleb-williams-17251/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Caleb Williams</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/rome-odunze-101978/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rome Odunze</a> showcased their unique relationship. Williams, of course, crashed Odunze’s Zoom call with reporters after he went to the Chicago Bears as the No. 9 overall pick – eight picks after Williams – and they both embraced the “Bear Claw.”



Tuesday, the Bears’ social media team showed another side of the former Pac-12 rivals-turned-<a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/category/nfl/news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> teammates.



Williams and Odunze <a href="https://x.com/ChicagoBears/status/1790539954486923288" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recreated</a> the iconic portrait pose from Step Brothers, which quickly made its way around social media. They became the first quarterback-wide receiver duo selected in the same first round last month as Chicago enters a new era, and it’s clear their chemistry is strong after rookie minicamp.



The only thing left to figure out is if they became best friends.

Chicago’s quarterback history has been well-documented, especially in recent years since the departure of <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jay-cutler-58401/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jay Cutler</a>. The Bears took <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/mitch-trubisky-89915/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mitch Trubisky</a> No. 2 overall in 2017, but then opted to move on and select <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/justin-fields-69308/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justin Fields</a> in 2021. Fields and the Bears finished 7-10 last season, but he headed to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason as Chicago received the No. 1 pick from the Carolina Panthers. That paved the way to select Williams, widely viewed as the top player on the board.



Bears fans can only hope Williams is, at long last, the franchise quarterback they waited for. He’s not the only big addition, though.

The Bears were active this offseason to surround Williams with talent, landing running back <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dandre-swift-27318/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">D’Andre Swift</a> and tight end <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/gerald-everett-45846/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gerald Everett</a> in free agency while trading a fourth-round pick for <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/keenan-allen-71833/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Keenan Allen</a> and selecting Odunze. They join an offense that already has <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cole-kmet-24737/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cole Kmet</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/dj-moore-27609/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">D.J. Moore</a> from last year, and Odunze said it <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/rome-odunze-bears-offense-will-be-very-reminiscent-of-washingtons/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">seems very familiar to him</a>.



“So many different weapons, so many ways to be efficient as an offense,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4aMCjd0aBY" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odunze said</a>. “It feels very reminiscent of what I came from at [<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/washington-huskies/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Washington</a>]. I know they’re going to put us in positions to succeed and I don’t know who’s going to be able to stop us with so many weapons.”



There’s not going to be any debate about whether Williams will start this year, either. Head coach <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/coach/matt-eberflus-132182/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Matt Eberflus</a> made it perfectly clear the former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/oklahoma-sooners/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oklahoma</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/usc-trojans/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">USC</a> standout <a href="https://www.on3.com/pro/news/matt-eberflus-names-bears-number-one-pick-caleb-williams-starting-quarterback-no-conversation/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">would be the Bears’ QB1</a> this season, and they’ll find out when and where he’ll play his first game during Wednesday’s schedule reveal.
