Former head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, Kliff Kingsbury, has taken on the role of offensive coordinator for the Washington Commanders, rejecting an offer from the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite initial reports, Kingsbury opted to join the Commanders.
The unexpected move surprised NFL fans, particularly those supporting the Bears, who currently hold the #1 overall pick in the 2024 draft. Many Bears fans express a desire for the team to select USC QB Caleb Williams with this top pick. However, speculation suggests that the Washington Commanders, with the #2 pick, are attempting to trade up to #1 to secure Williams. This strategic move is influenced by the recent hiring of Kingsbury, Williams’s former college coach, with the belief that Williams could be a transformative quarterback for their team.
Fans of the Bears took to social media to share their reactions to Kliff Kingsbury’s decision, expressing surprise and speculating on potential draft choices for their team. Some pondered if Williams exclusively wants to play in Washington under Kingsbury’s coaching, raising questions about the quarterback’s preferences and potential draft outcomes.
The Bears’ fanbase appears uncertain about the team’s next moves, especially as the Commanders seem determined to pair Caleb Williams with Kliff Kingsbury, adding an intriguing dynamic to the upcoming NFL draft.
