Caleb Williams Looks 'Night-and-Day' Different With Bears
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is entering the season with a ton of hype in the second year of Ben Johnson's system.
Chicago Bears' quarterback Caleb Williams entered the 2025 season with immense hype, entering his second year under head coach Ben Johnson. The Bears made a bold move by hiring Johnson from their NFC North rival, the Detroit Lions. In their first year together, the duo made quite an impact, with Johnson providing easy, designed plays while Williams stepped up to handle the improvisation when things went awry.
Now in their second year, the difference between the initial training camp and the current one is stark. According to Bears insider Carmen Vitali, the shift is night and day. Williams' decisiveness, communication, and presence in the huddle have noticeably improved. He can be seen moving his head and eyes, clearly knowing his role.
The Bears aimed to push Williams during the 2025 season, allowing him to throw the ball 3,942 times and accumulate 27 touchdowns. His completion rate of 58.1% was lower than that of previous quarterback Jared Goff. As the duo continues to work together, the Bears are optimistic about building a stronger partnership, even if it takes a bit more time.
