Caleb Williams impressed with elite flashes during his preseason debut with the Bears.

During his preseason debut, he made a nifty shovel pass to D'Andre Swift under heavy pressure for a 42-yard gain. On the ensuing drive, Williams --- on the run --- tossed a beautiful strike downfield to Cole Kmet.

Check out the dazzling play, even the cameraman struggled to follow a bit.

Williams made a strong fake pass to buy himself another second before launching the ball. Head coach Matt Eberflus complimented his ability to do that after the game.

"He did a nice job of coming out of the fake with speed, which you need to do," Eberflus said after the game. "And the guys ran their routes correctly and they ran with speed, too. They stayed open.

"A lot of times when you're doing those keepers, you're running away from leverage on defense. So you really gotta maintain that speed and Cole did that on that play and Caleb did a nice job of striking it in there."

Williams completed 4-of-7 passes for 95 yards, helping the Bears offense get into the red zone to post two field goals in the first quarter.

"My job is just to get him the ball in space and let our players, like Cole, and them do their magic," Williams said after the game. "But no, got out, got past the defensive end, ran past him, pump faked and tossed it to Cole. And he was wide open. He did a great job selling it and then breaking to the corner."
