Coleman Shelton will compete for the starting center position in camp with Ryan Bates on the Chicago Bears. Bates, acquired by the Bears, provides depth and versatility to the offensive line, addressing previous concerns of lack of flexibility. The team is focused on supporting rookie quarterback Caleb Williams, potentially their No. 1 overall pick, with wide receivers DJ Moore and Keenan Allen, while Bates and Shelton play critical roles in ensuring Williams has what he needs for a successful start in the NFL.
