Bears evaluate third wide receiver spot for Caleb Williams
Summary

As the Chicago Bears prepare for the upcoming NFL season, the focus is on selecting a third wide receiver to support quarterback Caleb Williams. Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III are expected to take on prominent roles if healthy. However, Kalif Raymond is viewed as a strong candidate for the third spot due to his prior connection with offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent has expressed confidence in Raymond's abilities. With other promising talents like rookie Zavion Thomas and Jahdae Walker, the Bears will assess options throughout the summer leading up to training camp.
