“Wow, that’s amazing!” another wrote.
“That’s the loudest I’ve ever heard Wrigley,” commented a third.
Bears fans will have hope that Williams is the long-term answer at signal caller.
Chicago has only had two quarterbacks (Jim McMahon and Mitchell Trubisky) in the last 60 years to receive a Pro Bowl selection.
And the Bears drafted Justin Fields in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, only to trade the Ohio State product three years later.
Williams has been the best quarterback in college football the past two seasons.

He won the 2022 Heisman Trophy.
After the 2024 Draft, Williams revealed that he knows he will continue to be under the microscope.
“I will always have scrutiny”, Williams told the Chicago Tribune.
“I do things like paint my nails. I’ll always be scrutinized about that. I wear funky clothes, stuff like that.
“So, you know, just do my job on the football field and win games.
“I think if you win a lot of games (in Chicago), you make a lot of people — the majority — happy.”
